Though in-game food items or cooking may be considered basic gameplay features, they can still play significant roles in any video game. Sometimes the variety of cuisines found in a video game can become so popular and iconic that official cookbooks for titles like Final Fantasy 14 or World of Warcraft are produced and then sold in bookstores. Chefs or home cooks that create content online are also often inspired by video game dishes, especially if it is from a highly popular title that is played by millions of people.

On Reddit, user memo_rx shared an image of the well-known Skyrim sweet rolls that they were able to make in their kitchen. Though the photo is pretty simple, the sweet rolls on the plate look very accurate to what is seen in-game. Humorously captioning the post, the Redditor said they have a feeling they’re about to get robbed, indicating the Skyrim community’s penchant for going into NPC homes and stealing anything they can get their hands on. Of course, this often includes food items and dishes like memo_rx’s sweet rolls.
Fellow Skyrim fans joined in on the good fun, using funny quotes to reply to the thread. Many of the comments used statements that Skyrim NPCs say to the player no matter which hold in Tamriel they are in. This includes the famous “arrow to the knee” and “someone stole your sweet roll” sayings. One comment, however, asked memo_rx if they used the official Skyrim cookbook to make their sweet rolls, to which they replied that they do have the book but chose not to follow the recipe to achieve their final product.
Memo_rx is not the first to make real-life versions of Skyrim sweet rolls, and they are likely not going to be the last, though the community would probably appreciate seeing a variety of dishes beyond sweet rolls recreated by the more culinarily inclined members of the fanbase.
