Did I break it? How do I enter a stupid cooking contest?

Emma:
If you place kitchen equipment on a community lot you have the option 'make food for contest' that goes straight to inventory without risk of being eaten.

Gastfyr:
I'm pretty sure you can also "serve" a group meal so long as you cancel the action before they actually take a plate from the platter.  Then you can stick the platter in your inventory.  When you click on the contest table, all possible entry meals in the sim's inventory will be displayed for you to choose from.

For some reason, Cuisine hobby snack platters don't qualify.  Not sure if Gelatin does?  lol

And yeah, the tooltip isn't very helpful.

As moonDragoness says, at the cuisine hobbylot you get the extra option to 'cook for contest', which I think adds no more functionality than a normal 'make' option.
They both put the food into your inventory.


That is utter crap... 'make' does NOT put the food in the inventory.
I think I must have dreamed it did.
It leaves the dish on the counter 'unserved', which is a way to torture the hungry kids as they only get the option to 'clear up' or 'call to meal', and the latter seems to do nothing.

Emma:
The option to 'make many' puts the food into inventory.

Well, if you want it in the inventory, it's pretty easy to pick it up and stick it in your inventory...

I like how you can eat any of the food after the contest, like it's a buffet.
I also noticed that eating the food doesn't fulfill wants to eat that type of food.  Which is rather annoying.
