Jelly babies (jelly beans)
Ice lolly (Popsicle)
Midday (noon)
Gherkin (a pickle)
Spuds (potatoes)
Twixt (between)
Candy floss (cotton candy)
Rocket (arugula)
Goujons (chicken nuggets)
Digestives (really delicious cookies that they dip in tea/coffee, that don't actually assist with anything related to digestion)

Also, pronunciation--
