Um, I am not sure that is correct. Maxe is "dough" according to http://folk.uib.no/hnohf/quen-eng.htm and according to the on site dictionary.

Meat is "apsa" (same sources).

The rest of the words appear to be OK from what I can see, although "juice" has two separate words available to it.
"sáva" is juice, "pirya" can also mean "syrup"

As for other food words, there are quite a few contained within the lessons on this site, I would recommend checking them out.

Tolkien's words often changed meanings. Maxe indeed is glossed 'dough' in the Etymologies; and it is glossed "meat" in the Quenya Verbal System essay in PE22.

apsa is variously assigned the meaning 'meat', 'cooked food', and 'juice' (!) in sources...
