Eat past tense is ate or EIGHT. p oz = p ounce which sounds like POUNDS. Pot+A+arrow to = POTATO.
The last symbol says “nautical storeroom” and is striked-thru. On a ship, the storage area for cargo is called the “hold”. Areas for storing ship-equipment might be called lockers, such as sail locker, bosun’s locker, etc. The colors behind the symbol in question has the coloration of the national flag of Spain but is also the International Maritime signal flag for the number 1. Spanish words for nautical storeroom are "bodega" or "pañol". user168715 has found the word 'tilla' which could be used to form tortilla. Could also have something to do with marina/marinate
