Homer Simpson’s favorite food is doughnuts in the animated television series The Simpsons.
Homer’s recurring love of doughnuts is one of the character’s defining comic traits. The show frequently depicts him eating, craving, or defending doughnuts, often with a pink-frosted doughnut covered in sprinkles serving as a visual shorthand for the gag.
Homer works at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant and is portrayed as impulsive, gluttonous, and easily distracted. His doughnut obsession is part of that characterization rather than a claim about a real person or a specific commercial brand.
The Simpsons premiered in 1989 as a television series after appearing as short segments on The Tracey Ullman Show. The doughnut became so closely associated with Homer that it is now one of the most recognizable food symbols in animated television.
