Man from U.N.C.L.E. Section VII

Perhaps I'm inspired by the post ssclassof56 put up yesterday for the What's My Line? Challenge. You really need to check that out and get ready to write.  I'm so bummed that we can't actually do the musical, talk about a good time.
Anyway, I got here in a roundabout way, considering my jam preferences for various food situations.  I recently found some boysenberry jam on walmart.com, something I've been looking for but couldn't find here in Kentucky.  Boysenberries are my all time favorite, something that comes from having grown up going to Knott's Berry Farm, where boysenberry is king.  If you've been there (it's currently an amusement park that, in Orange County, is second only to Disneyland), then you've had something made from boysenberries. At least I hope so.
Okay, I digress...
I made some biscuits this morning so I could indulge in the boysenberry jam, which made me think about my preferences for other foods that get a dollop of something.
Banana Bread needs strawberry jam.
Blueberry muffins... more blueberry, so I made blueberry jam.  I also like a blueberry sauce on pineapple sherbert.
Cornbread muffins, honey butter.
It's a list, my list of preferences.
And that, my friends, reminded me of all of the accounts of Illya Kuryakin putting strawberry jam in his tea.  I know it's strictly a fanfic thing, because I don't think we ever see Illya drinking tea.  But we know he would have preferred it, at least in the beginning.
So, what other preferences do we see or read concerning Napoleon and Illya? What are the little details about their behavior that had, perhaps, small beginnings but then grew into Fanon, that set of absolutes attributed to the writers of MFU fan fiction?
What are those Little Things that make us love these guys?

Alas, poor Illya Kuryakin. The sailor who hates the sea. Thanks to The Shark Affair, we have knowledge of this weakness.
How many stories have featured this little detail? I don't recall it ever coming up again in the series. The number of times Illya ends up in the water is pretty often, swimming like a fish to do some sneaky maneuver and thwart or distract the enemy.
Is the fact (canon fact), that Illya is prone to being seasick an endearing quality? Do we write about it because a weakness makes him that much more human?
What do you think? And, if you write, how often have you drawn attention to a seasick Russian?
While we're on the topic of water, how ironic is it that Napoleon has been cast (thanks to st_crispins I believe), as an experienced sailor aboard his own vessel, but thanks to real life info, remains uncomfortable in the water.
I know it's a Holiday Weekend for a lot of us, but if you get a minute, leave a comment.
