For me

lembas = twinkies (they NEVER spoil)

brackish Mordor water = tap water (I live in Pittsburgh, we pull our water straight from the Three Rivers. I've heard stories of mutant carp in the rivers large enough to swallow people. And an entire WW2 bomber disappeared in one of the rivers.)

orc health draught = Red Bull and Vodka (the drink of strungout college students everywhere!)
