It is important to people how food looks. Making food look appealing seems to make it taste better. It may not have been that way in caveman time, but now people expect it.
I don’t think a dog cares what food looks like.
With my dog it was all about A. How hungry she was. (Chomp.) B. What it smelled like. (Chomp, chomp.) C. How it tasted. (Chomp, inhale food in one bite, lick dish.).
I know from experience dogs love people food. The professionals say never feed your dog people food. But dogs love it so. I think in moderation it is all right.
My cousin’s dog, Omar, really loves chicken. He gets very excited when he comes to visit at my house because I often have a little chicken for him. He does not forget about it either, even if I don’t see him for a month or two or three. He will stare at me expectantly, with those soulful eyes, until I produce his treat. He really seems to like me a lot. I’m no fool though, I think it might have something to do with the chicken.
The other day I saw an ad on television for dog foods that are reproductions of Thanksgiving dinner. Little turkeys, mashed potato, right down to the pumpkin pie. Now come on, that seems kind of silly. (See A, B or C.) And wasteful. Instead of buying these, give the money to an animal shelter to help feed a stray.
If you do give your dog a little human food be careful. The last thing you want is a sick dog at your Thanksgiving gathering.

P. S. Notice I didn’t talk about the election. It really did go to the dogs.
I won’t even try to trump your last comment.
As for feeding my dog, Jackson, it’s my wife who spoils him. Not me. Those rumors of me making fresh pasta and pot roast with the trimmings for him are simply not true.
And I never give him any of my Italian cold cuts and cheeses. Not me. No can do. Not ever. Never.
Well, there was this one time …
