     Tonight, Ross is getting his lumps. Phoebe is getting her peas and onions. And Mario is getting his tots*. Confused? Don’t be! We’re having three kinds of potatoes! People are needy about their potatoes! But it’s going to be awesome! In continuing this VeganMoFo theme of veganizing food made on “Friends”, we’re looking at the  first ever Thanksgiving episode, “The One Where Underdog Gets Away.” The “Friends” Thanksgiving episodes are usually stellar, and this early installment is no different. Monica is in charge of her first Thanksgiving dinner, and all the Friends are pretty ignorant of how hard she is working. They all make personal requests – Chandler needs his tomato soup and grilled cheese*, Ross needs mashed potatoes with lumps, Phoebe needs her potatoes whipped and with peas and onions, and Joey needs his potatoes in tot form. (Joey is wise.) <\/div>\n
<\/hr>\n

Joey:<\/strong> Hey, Monica, I got a question. I don’t see any tater tots.
<\/span>
<\/span> Monica:<\/strong> That’s not a question.
<\/span>
<\/span> Joey:<\/strong> But my mom always makes them. It’s like a tradition. You get a little piece of turkey on your fork, a little cranberry sauce, and a tot! It’s bad enough I can’t be with my family because of my disease.
<\/span>
<\/span> Monica:<\/strong> All right, fine. Tonight’s potatoes will be both mashed with lumps, and in the form of tots.
<\/span>
<\/span> Monica:<\/strong> What, Phoebe, did you whip the potatoes? Ross needs lumps!
<\/span>
<\/span> Phoebe:<\/strong> Oh, I’m sorry, oh, I just, I thought we could have them whipped and then add some peas and onions.
<\/span>
<\/span> Monica:<\/strong> Why would we do that?
<\/span>
<\/span> Phoebe:<\/strong> Well, ’cause then they’d be like my mom used to make them, you know, before she died.
<\/span>
<\/span> Monica:<\/strong> Ok, three kinds of potatoes coming up.<\/font>

    Of course, Monica complies with these requests. But she kind of freaks out about how much stress she’s under. Watch the below, from 7:30 to 8:01. <\/div>\n
