Soulstorm Brew does contain tears and bones, but not the other two. The eyeballs could be confusion with the tears aspect, and the 'Glukkon spew' from the slogan "Our spew is yours brew!", but I highly doubt that's a literal idea.

Scrab Cakes: Similar to beef like that from those specially bred cows which are basically all muscle (forget what they're called) for the actual meat part, though it's probably watered down a bit and got sugars, perservatives and stuff in there affecting the flavour.

Paramite Pies: Usual pie dough, though a different taste expected as the dough is likely made from a different type of grain than to Earth's. The meat part is probably similar to perhaps dog or Scrab meat, having a less dry taste than Scrab. It wouldn't be as lean either. Also, factoring in sugars, preservatives etc., though less likely needed as in Scrab cakes as Paramite pies are rpesumably cooked before eating.

Elum Chubs: Similar taste to horse or donkey meat, perhaps like beef, but much more tender than that from Scrab. More fat than in either Scrab or Paramites flesh. Again, less preservatives etc. due to need to cook before eating.

Meech Munchies: More like shellfish than the others, as more calcium is probably present in flesh as it is needed to grow the tough scales on the Meech's back. Very stringy, I'd imagine. Not sure what a 'munchie' can be compared to in real life foods.

Soulstorm Brew: Alcohol would have a slightly different taste to Earth's, as again based on different plant matter. The powdered bone may give a dry taste, and/or enrich the base flavours. The tears would give a salty taste to it, as well as prevent bitterness from the bones and add alot of the fluid to the drink, as well as water. If not alcohol from plants, the bone could perhaps be giving a similar effect somehow, through chemical composition, Mudokon spirituality or the way it is processed (maybe since Mudokons are natural and things apparently rot faster in Oddworld, maybe it is more plausible to attempt the ferment the bones by soaking them in a liquid, perhaps water or the Mudokon tears).
