New Years is often the day of the year when people feel guilty about all the feasting they did over the holiday and embark on short-lived resolutions to eat healthfully, but oneSkyrimfan went in a different direction and made some sweet rolls to celebrate. Such rolls might just be the perfect way for aSkyrimfan to tell the world they’re ready for another year that goes about the same way the one before it did (or to promise oneself a year of desserts to remember).
Over the years, games in theElder Scrollsseries have featured a variety of delicious looking goodies, ranging from garlic bread and fondue to vegetable soup and salmon steak. Any discerning list ofthe 12 best Skyrim food recipes to make in real lifewill also include the most tasty of treats, the “sweetroll.” It’s sufficiently special that in theSkyrimworld, it even gets away with obliterating the grammatically-correct space that belongs between “sweet” and “roll.”

After realizing just how good a plate of sweet rolls sounded, Reddit user SeriousDryWall decided to ring in the New Year with a fresh batch of them. Using the recipe from the 2019 publication,The Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook, the fan baked and iced some treats that look every bit as scrumptious as anything player characters might scarf down while raiding a dank dungeon inSkyrim. As noted in thecomplete guide to all food inSkyrim, a sweet roll is the perfect way to restore 5 HP.
Games actually have a long history of tying food to health restoration and stat increases (or sometimes to unfortunate status effects). Long-time vampire slayers well remember the good oldCastlevaniadays, when Dracula stashed turkey legs in the crumbling walls of his shifting castle. Somevideo game food looks absolutely disgustingeven before they can linger in dubious locations without modern refrigeration. In general, though, the food players gather inSkyrimis the stuff of medieval feasts, more fit for a king than a peasant.
Skyrimhas been out for a long while now, time enough that the list ofgames that have been ported to more platforms thanSkyrimhas begun to shrink. The originalDoomstill has the lead in that respect, and perhaps it always will, butSkyrimcontinues to claw its way toward the top of the heap and clearly has one thing that the infamous raid on hell does not: delicious food. That’s better than a shotgun and buckshot any day.
