The practice of including different kinds of savory and sweet dishes in-game is something that is often done by a title’s developers. Aside from healing character health or buffing up specific stats, having delectable treats in video games also provides players with a more realistic and immersive experience. This is especially true in role-playing titles such asThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Recently, a fan took to their kitchen and recreated one of themost iconicSkyrimdishes, giving fellow players a view of what the in-game food item would be like in real life.
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 thatofficial cookbooks for titles likeFinal Fantasy 14orWorld of Warcraftare 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-knownSkyrimsweet rollsthat 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 theSkyrimcommunity’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.
FellowSkyrimfans joined in on the good fun, using funny quotes to reply to the thread. Many of the commentsused statements thatSkyrimNPCs sayto 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 officialSkyrimcookbook 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 ofSkyrimsweet 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.
The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimis available for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
