Mistakes/Goofs

Goof (errors made by characters, possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Flan is a Cuban dessert, not Mexican.
Goof (continuity error): At the end of the evening, Joey, Ross and Chandler all dance in the hallway to distract from Rachel's father going into the apartment. When the door shuts behind Doctor Green, Rachel is in the middle of the group hug and her mother is on the left. In the next shot, Rachel's mother is in the middle and Rachel is on the left.
