It means that the host forced or compelled very sweetly to finish or complete the food served

sounds like the host is literally using her hands to smash the food onto the plate :P
i've never seen "press" used in that context before. even "shovel" or "heap" would make more sense.

That sentence is a bit awkward (奇怪). What it means is that the host kept adding food to the guest's plate. Using the word "press" implies that the host was forcing it onto the plate, even if there wasn't much room.
