“if the main reason you look forward to shabbos is that you get to stuff your face with stuffed chicken and meat, you should not be stuffing your face with stuffed chicken and meat”
you could not be more wrong!
Shabbos is meant to be enjoyed. If you enjoy it via hoieche inyanim MAzel tov!
If you enjoy it with chicken and meat, then absolutely you should, and one day you too will enjoy it with hoiche inyanim.
I have never heard anybody say that if you enjoy eating or even “stuffing your face” on shabbos (assuming we arent dealing with achila gasa) then you should avoid it. This is a perversion of Yidishkeit and deserves protest
“Same goes for cheese cake and baked ziti on shavuos.”
Wrong again! Believe it or not (and you arent the only one who has trouble with this point) There is a mitzvah of lachem especially Shavuos! Just by eating cheesecake and baked ziti, and enjoying it you get schar!
Obviously there are other ways to get schar too, a lot more schar. But dont pervert our religion into something it is not
