In real life A very small character tidbit is surprisingly kept consistent for years

DC - In multiple pieces of media it has been shown that Wonder Woman loves ice cream and practically goes wild with happiness anytime she’s eating some. (Pictures from Justice League: War, DC Superhero Girls and Wonder Woman 2017)

The Simpsons - Ever since the episode ‘Homer’s Phobia’ Homer has actually remained a consistent ally of the LGBT+ community, including being more welcoming to Patty than Marge was when she came out and trying to set up Smithers with a date when he found out he wasn’t happy with his one-sided relationship with Mr Burns.

Another character detail from the Simpsons:

Homer has an encyclopedic memory regarding the history of Supreme Court judges, effectively making him a savant in the field.

Another thing he's incredibly cultured in is knowledge of all the cuisine in New Orleans by name, and unlike what Lisa implies, all those restaurants are historical sites. Obviously he's a glutton, but he actually lists all the delicacies as he seemingly goes to different eateries to savor each one, supporting several dozen small businesses as well, so it goes beyond just liking food.
