I have repeated the force feeding chulent story to quite a few people and many people have written back that they too were force fed chulent and some of them said, not only did they not learn to like the chulent, they began to hate Shabbos because of it and eventually went OTD.
There is a story I heard of a Rav ,once someone went to him and told him he HATED shabbos, the Rav asked why. The man told him back in Europe every week his family would spend the whole week preparing and finding the finiest foods for shabbos, His father would buy only the best fish in the market for shabbos and the Rav thought to himself what a beautiful way to teach about shabbos and then the man said, every shabbos his father forced him “LKavod Shabbos” to eat the fish, every week he would dread when his father would force him to eat that fish and he hated it more and more. Shabbos to him became associated with eating that Fish and he couldnt wait to get away.
