Okay, so I think I got it ...

A carvery = buffet that only consists of a carving station, where they don't let you go back in line as many times as you want.

Prawns Marie Rose = shrimp cocktail

black Forest Gateau = Schwarzwalderkirschtorte

pud = lump of pudding that's cooked along with the beef, mainly to keep it company. Can be awesome in it's yumminess, or horribly dry and tasteless. Originally popular in Yorkshire. Bears no relation to American Pudding, or that other thing that we call pud, which isn't a food but is often eaten.

Edit ... oh ... that pud is like our pudding. Now you're confusing me.
