Standard british condiments:
"Salad Cream" - apparently this is sort of like mayonnaise. But it isn't actually mayonnaise, which is also a popular condiment.
"Brown sauce" - akin to steak sauce. I like it.
Mint sauce - made with mint leaves soaked in vinegar. Unaesthetically appealing, but I've acquired a taste for it.
Golden syrup - sugar syrup, a common ingredient in desserts
Hard candies are called "boiled sweets."
Wine gums are gummy candies. They do not actually contain wine.
Flapjacks are not pancakes; they are, rather, bar cookies, usually with oats and butter (or oil of some sort) as a main ingredient. They're very dense, and very, very high in calories and fat; I've stayed away from them.
"Fudge" is similar in consistency to its American equivalent, but here it does not contain any chocolate unless specified.
Lemonade -- well, Brits don't know what it is, really. "Lemonade" here is simply lemon-flavored soda, often devoid of any actual lemon-based ingredients. The closest thing to American lemonade I've seen here is lemon squash.
(Yes, I have a sweet tooth. Sue me.)
