Sweetroll (Oblivion)

The Sweetroll is a popular sweet pastry, commonly found in inns and taverns throughout all of the Imperial provinces, save for perhaps Morrowind. Sweetrolls can also be used as alchemical ingredients, notably in potions of Fortify Health.

Locations
Sweetrolls are easily found in most houses and public buildings, and are sold at most inss. There is also a baker in Skingrad that sells sweets. A sweetroll is also required for the quest 'The Coming Storm'. They can also be found as random loot on most townsfolk.

Trivia
The Sweetroll is a staple for many of Bethesda's games, and is sort of an ongoing joke. The meme itself originated in The Elder Scrolls: Arena where, at the beginning of the game, one of the class-determining questions is:


 * While in town the baker gives you a sweetroll. Delighted you take it into an ally to enjoy, only to be intercepted by a gang of three kids your age. The leader demands the sweetroll, or else he and his friends will beat you and take it. Do you: ...

The same question appears with slight variation in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall, as well as in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind to determine starting skill levels.

Occasionally, in Skingrad, if you ask an NPC about rumors, they will tell you of Salmo's sweetrolls. Then they will say "One time I took a sweetroll into an allyway to eat when three thugs jumped out at me. So I took the sweetroll and..."

In Fallout 3, there is a scene acted out for the phenomenon. At the player's 10th birthday party, a kindly old lady gives you a sweetroll. When the birthday cake is ruined, the local bully attempts to coerce you into giving him the sweetroll. Most responses will result in him punching the player until security steps in.

The sweetroll phenomenon also appears In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim; when the player passes city guards, on occasion they are known to make comical voices towards the player while saying "Let me guess, someone stole your sweetroll?", where the possible intention is to make fun of the player by making him seem weak.
