What does it mean?
What does it mean? I understand they are names of the dishes, but I would like more exactly
1. Beef carrots
2. Rice pudding
3. Golden syrup
4. Stewed fruits
And the next: what does this phrase mean? To work hard and to play hard?

1. I don't know how "beef carrots" can really be the name of a dish. But I guess it's some kind of stew with both beef and carrots.
2. Rice pudding is a dessert made by boiling rice with milk, cream and sugar.
3. Golden syrup is a thick sugary substance made from sugar cane extracts. It's a form of sugar that's not as processed as white sugar.
4. Stewed fruits are fruits that have been put in a pot, boiled and simmered, probably with some sugar and spices such as cinnamon. You eat it as a dessert, perhaps with cream or ice cream.
"Work hard and play hard" refers to an attitude that some people have - when they're at work, they're very determined, and may work long hours. But when they finish, they might go to parties, drink a lot, meet members of the opposite sex, and so on.
Hope that helps. Have a good one!
