I tried starting a new save with the current save and moving the food entree from the kitchen island to the kitchen table and the glitch was still happening.
@emenygirl19 this is kind of similar to an issue I've had on Xbox Series X where the Sim that cooks the meal and then uses Call to Meal either won't eat or won't sit down to eat. It's also worse on a lot where I've used the move objects cheat and haven't yet disabled the cheat. So if you've used MOO on that lot, try disabling it with bb.moveobjects off. If you're using any other cheats then perhaps turn those off too. I've also got the Sim that won't eat with the rest of the family to get leftovers from the fridge and found that they would do that. They will also eat food from their inventory. Like you, I've tried moving the plates around too to see if they will eat properly. Sometimes that helps but sometimes not. If I have a separate counter space next to a dining table that is sometimes what kickstarts them into behaving as they should. I also found that if they BBQ outside it doesn't affect them. It seems to specifically be the counters in kitchens. It's not all lots either. It's worse in Yuma Heights.
I've just added For Rent so am planning to test and see if it's made any difference when I've moved in a new Sim into a brand new lot.
So there's a few different things you could try, along with the troubleshooting steps for console but pop a reply here if nothing works as it's definitely an annoying problem.
