We tried M&S' Friends inspired 'Moist Maker' and we see why Ross was angry about his sandwich

Go to Netflix and search for Friends.

After you find the iconic television series, click on season five and head to episode seven.

There, you should find an episode titled 'The One With Ross' Sandwich' and if you're a fan of the show, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

This was described by Ross as "amazing" thanks to his sister, Monica, who has a 'secret' ingredient - a gravy soaked layer of bread right in the middle. But we later find out in the episode he never had a chance to try the sandwich at work because one of his colleagues had eaten it - and Ross wasn't exactly happy, even more so when the man who had eaten it said be "binned most of it" because it was so big.

Thus, why Ross was mad.

To make the Ross Gellar 'Moist Maker' you begin by laying down one piece of toasted bread and spreading a layer of cranberry sauce over the bread. Top with a generous amount of stuffing and then layer slices of warm turkey over the stuffing. Top the turkey with the gravy-soaked bread (aka the moist maker).

And whilst this sounds delicious - hence why he got so mad which we understand - Marks and Spencer have come up with a rival to the infamous sandwich - and we got to try it.

And to make it even more special, we used their Collection Crafted Christmas Sourdough – no Boxing Day leftover sandwich will ever be the same again!

Packed with fried crispy onions, sage and cranberries, and topped with pumpkin seeds it tastes just like stuffing and it certainly adds to the three layers delight.

M&S Friends inspired 'Moist Maker'- our thoughts

This definitely takes leftovers to a whole other level and we have to say we really enjoyed it.

The Collection Crafted Christmas Sourdough added a lot to the taste rather than plain old bread - and we're feeling more festive-y.

The gravy soaked layer was delicious. We used their own Turkey gravy and all we had to do was heat it up on the stove. We also used their own Pigs in Blankets which came in a packet of 12, M&S' own cranberry sauce and Turkey which we cooked in the oven - and it turned out perfectly.

We used mayo we already had in the house and to our surprise, it wasn't bad at all - in fact we now know why Ross was so angry because the gravy soaked layer really does add another dimension.

So if you have leftovers, you know what to do - no excuses!
