Sweetroll (Skyrim)

"Absurd that you can't get good sweetrolls in this skeeverhole of a city"

- Dagny

The sweetroll is a staple for many of Bethesda's games, and is sort of an ongoing joke. It functions as food in. When consumed, it restores 5 health points. It's a ring of dough with some form of sugar or icing on the top.

Locations

 * Most inns sell them.
 * One in Breezehome, after the upgrade for the bedroom has been purchased from Proventus Avenicci
 * One in the kitchen of the Blue Palace.

Sweetroll joke
"Let me guess - someone stole your sweetroll..."

- Guard

First appearance
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 alley 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: ..."

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

Oblivion
Occasionally, in Skingrad, if an NPC is asked about rumors, they talk about Salmo's sweetrolls. Then they will say "One time I took a sweetroll into an alleyway to eat when three thugs jumped out at me. So I took the sweetroll and..."

Other games
In Fallout 3, this scene is acted out. 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.

Connection to Skyrim
The sweetroll phenomenon also appears in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim; when the Dragonborn passes Guards, on occasion they are known to say, "Let me guess, someone stole your sweet roll?"
