I just wondered if any other chefs out there even try to put out Non-Bio food anymore? If so, does it sell? If so, what kind of prices do you put on it? Oh, and for Bio Foods what types of additives do you mostly use? I am a new Master Chef on Bria and was hoping for some answers to some of these questions. Thanks guys.

I had a non-bio food vendor up for about 2 days... I got emails about it but not the good ones that say "Vendor item sold". I got emails asking why I would put it up and that none of it would ever sell. I priced items at about half as much and ...none sold.
If you're gonna do non-be stuff, best bet is to put it on the bazar real cheap for new players to find. But don't expect to make good money from it.

ive sold tons of Non-BE foods. You just have to price them correctly for your server. Pick a CPU cost and stick to it. I make more money selling BE foods but they also take twice as long and give cost more to make (quite a bit more actually) so its arguable if i make more with BE foods. BE foods are definently easier to sell tho, thjats for sure.

You can sell non BE food 
I sell it on Wanderhome.
It does move a bit slower than BE food but it does sale.
1) Travel Biscuits.....even non BEd these have good bonus for folks.
2) Exo Protein Wafers......even non BE these can be good.
3) Bofa Treat and Blob Candy ......sell as Pet food
4) I've even found Noobs will buy my Non BE Accaragm and non BE Brandy cause it helps em and is affordable for them.
5) Ormachek......this here can't have additives no other way to make it, sells good at times
I keep a few of almost everything non BE on my vendors....like I said moves slower than BE stuff but there is a market for it.
( Folks told me it would never sale when I first started making it, I laugh at their remarks these days )

Anything that takes a light additive can usually sell, course you won't get as much money. If they take medium or heavy additives, you lose too much for it and its not worth the loss.
The only food I made without BE mods are travel biscuts. +12 terrain neg with low filling for 15 minutes is pretty good. And since it only cost me about 1k in resources, I sell a full crate (125 uses) for 8k and they sell pretty quick that cheap, and I make 7k profit per crate. All the other foods though, you might as well make with BE mods.

It's priced too high. Subtract what the BE additive adds to the cost and use that price.

Highly possible. I think it was priced ok since my regular stuff was really cheap at the time.. but, I wasn't going on a cpu rate so..it is possible.
Most of the comments I got weren't really about price though. It was that the stats weren't high enough. So if you have great resources, best on your server, you might do better. I have good resources but not the best ever spawned.

For non BE foods I generally charge 5 cpu. However I do have to charge more for those using creature harvested resources as they cost more.
