Spanish term or phrase: Food
I would like to verify the following translations. These need to be in an universal spanish. But mainly for central america hispanics.

muffin - mollete
bagel -panecillo
biscuit - panecillo seco
croissant - medialuna
pastry - pastel or pastelillo
sandwich - bocadillo
salad dressing - aderezo o aliño
gravy - crema
Peanut Butter Sandwich - Bocadillo de Mantequilla de Cacahuete
Lunch meat - tipos de fiambre o carne para bocadillos
Matzah balls - ?? not a clue
chocolate milk - leche con chocolate o chocolatina
carrots, soft cooked - zanahorias, cocinadas suave?? (this does not sound right)
turkey, cooked and finely chopped - pavo, cocinado finamente y cortado??

Again, I thank you in advance for all your help.

Explanation:
Al igual que Pat Harp, creo que tienes que acometer una tarea muy difícil.

Así es como se conocen en la ciudad de México, donde vivo:

muffin= muffin
bagel= bagel
croissant= croissant (o 'cuerno')
biscuits= bisquets
sandwich=sandwich
gravy= salsa, salsa gravy

(lo de arrba no es broma, es que muchos de esos nombres los decimos en su idioma original)

salad dressing=aderezo para ensalada
Peanut Butter Sandwich= sandwich de mantequilla de cacahuate (en México es cacahuate, no cacahuete)
Lunch meat= carnes frías, embutidos
Matzah balls= bolitas de matzah (o de pan sin levadura)
Chocolate milk= leche con chocolate (o leche sabor chocolate, si viene en envase)
Carrots, soft cooked= zanahorias cocidas suaves
Turkey, cooked and finely chopped= pavo cocido y finamente picado
pastry= pasteles, pastelillos, o en su conjunto, pastelería

Qué hambre me dio.

Explanation:
croissant se dice igual en España, aunque a veces lo he visto escrito cruasán
Gravy - salsa (de la carne)
pastry: repostería
chocolate milk: leche con cacao
turkey: pavo guisado y picado fino
zanahorias ligeramente hervidas/ guisadas
matzah balls: no estoy segura de lo que son, pero si son algo parecido a los dumplings sería: bolas de masa hervidas. hope it helps!

Explanation:
As I suspect you are about to discover, there's no such thing as "universal" Spanish when it comes to food! I don't about about Central America, but here are a few I remember from Mexico:

sandwich - sandwich (between to slices of bread--but, in a hollowed-out roll - torta)
croissant - croissant (medialuna es de Argentina, ¿no?)
carrots, soft-cooked - zanahorias, bien cocidas
turkey, cooked and finely chopped -
pavo (guajolote) cocido y picado

zanahorias bien cocidas


Explanation:
tal como dice Pat Harp.

Me equivoqué con lo de cocidas suaves: definitivamente lo correcto sería 'bien cocidas'.
