I have gotten to lgor Bartali's adventures book 5. I am to the point I need to eat a simple crown meal. I have done so 4 or 5 times. I have waited (ect). Yet, everytime the book says I have not. I need this solved to complete the books so yeah..? Any ideas/ ways to help would be nice thank you. 

Bartali book 5, chapter 4?  Looks like that is supposed to be a Balenos meal.

Both according to BDOfoundry and according to the adventure journal in-game, you need to consume a Balenos Meal, not a simple cron meal:
