> Adding to Goddlelfrood's comment, UK speakers, when referring to the
last course of a meal might variously call them "puddings", "sweets"
or "afters".

I thought it was just called "pudding," no "s," as in "What's for
pudding?" the way an American would say, What's for dessert?" And I
thought "sweets" referred chiefly to what Americans call "candy."
