The Queen's English

[Eva Elisabeth]

As for the pudding - I think "Yorkshire Pudding" was in explained in "If Only They Could Talk" as a salty piece of bakery, mainly made of flour, eggs, and oil, that was served before the meat was put on the table. The Intention was to already feed the eaters with the pudding and make them finally take less of the way more expensive meat.

As we learn BE at school first, we learn "vest" as a piece (shirt) of underwear before the AE meaning is added in a higher grade. The same goes for "nappy" (napkin).

"WC" is the "German" term for "restroom" - thus a small room with only a toilet and a sink, e.g. for guests in a restaurant etc. I doubt all Germans do know what the abbreviation stands for (water closet).

Porridge - the very typical English breakfast, just oat cooked in water, reminds me of "Wallace and Gromit":
