Suggestions for making poor quality food?

For some reason, in a house of 6 sims, no one can get uncomfortable enough to make some poor-quality food to sell on the new Home Chef Hustle table. They all already have cooking skills as this is a family I've been playing with for a while. Yes, the irony. 

So, I'm looking for suggestions for items that give off uncomfortable auras, foods that make sims uncomfortable, or other tips others use for this part of the aspiration. Or just ideas of how to make food poor quality when you have good cooking/baking/gourmet cooking skills. I would like not to cheat it. I'm already cheating the stuff my sim can't do for vegan reasons. I would like, at least, for this part to be legit. 

In the meantime, I'm going to leave them to their own autonomy for 24 sim-hours and see who's in the worst mood by the end of it.

    @gertie47 Do you own Eco Lifestyle? If yes you can use the large external trashcan to search for meals, when I did it the meal I found was poor quality.

    @GiardiniDiMarzo Actually, I did this in the end, and have completed the poor food part. I think your dumpster idea is the solution 😁, thanks!

    Okay I have a partial solution for you and I'm here searching for the other half.

    You need to put any nice or decent quality cooking appliances (STOVE, FRIDGE, GRILL) and put those items in your Household Inventory. Then buy the cheapest quality refrigerator and stove (if using a stove for the meal), then prep.

    If making pizza, get the poor quality fridge, uncomfortable or very uncomfortable sim, and have them prep the ingredients, which will then be poor. Then the meal made from them will also be poor especially if the Sim is uncomfy.

    The issue I'm having is even with 300% markup I can't seem to get an item that would sell for $100 per serving. I have Bob Pancakes at the park with his stand (because seriously this pack was MADE for him) and Eliza in full suffer / uncomfortable mood and one skill of cooking trying to make meals.

    I have not had success with:

    Canadian Bacon Pizza (made by bob with low mood and poor quality ingredients)

    Matcha Cake

    Franks and Beans

    Onigiri

    Grilled Cheese

    Pao de Queijo

    Classic Vanilla Cupcakes

    Fish Dinner

    Arcaraje

    Mac And Cheese

    Taco Casserole

    Hamburger Cake

    Vegetable Dumplings

    Chicken Chimichurri skewers

    Beef Ramen

    LilSimsie made a youtube video where Stanley was able to sell Poor Quality Baked Potatoes for $100 somehow, or at least it checked off the goal. I'm going to try the Sfincione pizza option but let it spoil and see if that counts as "poor" quality.

    @JNarz19  I tried it in another save and got over 100 simoleons from selling poor quality tofu turkey grand meal priced up 300%. I think all the grand meals are expensive. Just got to use the uncomfortable low/no cooking skilled sim and hope they don't set the oven on fire 😂

    @GiardiniDiMarzo, brilliant idea! Although at the moment I have D. Trump locked in a dungeon under my Sims house for plasma and poor cooking skills.

    @gertie47   Hi!  I'm so glad you were able to find a solution to this.  Also, I love that you have a sim named D. Trump and that you locked them in a dungeon.  Now I have ideas.  :-)

    I finally made a poor quality meal sell for more than 100$. Your sims has to have a high cooking skill and make them very uncomfortable and cook a high skill meal, the meal will be poor, I also used a cheapest frig and cheapest stove and it worked!

    @tiyana21 I'll try the cheap appliances--being super uncomfortable did not work for me. I didn't let my sim eat, sleep, or bathe for, liike, 2 days, had +5 uncomfortable moodlets, picked all the highest skill meals to try, and all her food still came out mostly excellent, and worst it cam eout was normal lol. This is hardest thing I can remember trying to do in the sim 4, it's freakin ridiculous XD
