Güzel is the second listed translation for "nice" on Tureng. All the Brits I know would use "lovely" in that sentence in place of "nice." I think it should be an acceptable translation, goes well with güzel.

Thanks, iamnotapot, I eventually realized that as the lesson went on...
Notice that here yemek is accepted. But for türkiye'deki yemekler çok güzel it isn't. Why?
You could be talking about a single dish here :)
Probably because beautiful is an unusual way to describe food. (It is possible though and would most likely be written Yesterday's food looked beautiful).

I always try to present meals beautifully, even when I'm just making a bowl for myself. I know Turkish chefs feel the same way or gül börekler wouldn't exist. I wonder how to say that the food was beautiful.

Yeah tbh it rankles a bit that the mods/creators throw out weird, oddly specific sentences like "we drink yours" but then mark logical, if perhaps slightly unusual, translations wrong.
I translated (as Dragonrykr) güzel with beautiful. But it was not accepted. WHY?
