Thanks for your suggestion, I realized that I simplified my original
problem a bit too much. My original problem can't be solved by simply
matching some XPath query. Still this gives me some ideas to try in my
much complicate context.

Please try this stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/x">
<Ingredients>
<xsl:for-each select="Spices/Spice | MeatParentTags/Meats/Meat |
Vegetables/Vegetable">
<Ingredient>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*" />
</Ingredient>
</xsl:for-each>
</Ingredients>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This when applied to XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<x>
<Spices>
<Spice name="black pepper" id="11" />
<Spice name="ginger powder" id="12" />
<Spice name="salt" id="13" />
</Spices>
<MeatParentTags>
<Meats>
<Meat name="pork" id="21" />
</Meats>
</MeatParentTags>
<Vegetables>
<Vegetable name="Green Pepper" id="34" />
</Vegetables>
</x>
Produces the desired output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Ingredients>
<Ingredient name="black pepper" id="11"/>
<Ingredient name="ginger powder" id="12"/>
<Ingredient name="salt" id="13"/>
<Ingredient name="pork" id="21"/>
<Ingredient name="Green Pepper" id="34"/>
</Ingredients>
