Pretty Food of Quality

While, apparently, people can disagree as to whether quality food can be "ugly," in the present instance, I maintain that this dish Robert made for me this weekend (for me alone, because he doesn't like turmeric) is both nice to look at and yummy to eat and presents no awkwardness on the "what do we mean by quality" front and - in short, I am just a sucker for one-dish meals in general and I do like this one.
