1 fish and chips: "Fish and chips" is the right answer. It's one of Britain's favourite national dishes! "Chips" are potatoes cut into strips and then deep-fried in hot oil. They are called "fries" in the USA. The "fish" in this context is usually cod, which is battered and also deep-fried in hot fat. This quick, tasty food is bought from "chippies"!
1 potato soup: Potato soup rarely involves seafood, thankfully! This is therefore not the right answer here.
1 fish finger sandwich: A fish finger sandwich is food eaten mostly by children, involving some long, thin pieces of breaded fish positioned between two slices of bread. I used to eat this with lots of ketchup. It doesn't involve any potato, so isn't the right answer here!
2 jelly: "Jelly" is the right answer. "Jelly" is a gelatinous dessert often served at children's parties. In the USA, it is referred to as "jello". Jelly is usually fruit-flavoured. Example: "When I was a child, I only ate jelly".
2 ice cream: Ice cream is not "very wobbly". It is not gelatinous enough to be the right answer here.
2 baked apple and custard: A "baked apple" is one which has been cooked in the oven with sugar and spices such as cinnamon. It's very tasty! "Custard" is a pale yellow, vanilla-flavoured sweet sauce. Neither is "very wobbly".
3 full English breakfast: The full English breakfast is quite special! It includes lots of fried meat, eggs, and often tomatoes, mushrooms, or baked beans. Only those with a very strong stomach can eat this in the morning! Example: "When I visited Britain, I ate a full English breakfast every morning. Now I'm very fat".
3 egg salad cream: "Egg salad cream" probably consists of a hard-boiled chicken egg, served with a mayonnaise-like sauce. This is not the right answer here.
3 Bangers and mash: "Bangers" are sausages, and "mash" is mashed potato. This is not the right answer here.

1 corkscrew: A "corkscrew" is a tool for removing corks from wine bottles. It usually has a metallic helix that is inserted (or "screwed") into the cork of a bottle, and is then pulled to remove the cork. It has a different shape to a "bottle opener" which uses a lever action to remove (or "prise") a cap from a bottle.
2 bottle opener: A "bottle opener" is a tool that removes metallic caps from bottles. It has a different shape to a "corkscrew" which has a helix-shaped screw to pull a cork from a bottle. A Swiss army knife will usually have both a corkscrew and a bottle opener attached to it, and enough tools on it to make someone like Macgyver very happy.
3 rug: A "rug" is a (usually decorative) thick piece of fabric that covers the floor. It is usually smaller than a "carpet" and usually made from wool or cotton. Brian has brought a rug with him to the picnic so that he can sit on it and not get his clothes dirty.
4 pack: A "pack (of playing cards)" is a complete set of cards (usually 52 in number). Brian has brought a pack of playing cards so that he can play poker during the picnic. In other contexts, a "pack" can refer to a gang or group, and also a container that is carried by people or animals, for example: The pack of Italian schoolchildren all carried the same type of heavy backpacks.
5 chips: In the game of poker, a "chip" is the small disk that represents money. Brian says that he has brought some "poker chips" so that he can play poker at the picnic. Note that a "potato chip" (or "crisp" in British English) is a thin slice of potato that is usually eaten in front of a football match on television.
