Sweetroll

The sweetroll, or sweet roll, is a type of food item. This item is a sweet pastry with icing. The pastry can contain spices, raisins, nuts, or candied fruit. Sweetrolls are baked in a kitchen in the Vault-Tec Vaults.

On July 13, 2268, in the Vault 101 Cafeteria, Old Lady Palmer gifts the Lone Wanderer with a sweetroll.

Butch liked Old Lady Palmer's sweetrolls and attacked the Lone Wanderer in an attempt to obtain one.

Game Play
The Sweetroll is a quest-related food item, seen in the quest Growing Up Fast. It is a continuation of a longstanding Bethesda Softworks running gag.

Quest involvement
During the quest Growing Up Fast, you are given a sweet roll by Old Lady Palmer. Once Andy eviscerates the cake with his circular saw, Butch accosts the player and demands that you give up the sweet roll. The player has a variety of options for response, ranging from a simple dismissal, to an attempt to share, to a spiteful spit on the roll before giving it up, to a vicious verbal jab at his mother's drinking habits. Most responses will provoke Butch to get up and begin throwing punches at the Player, which prompts Officer Gomez to intervene. Even if you do not eat it, you will not be able to take this item as it will disappear from your inventory when you complete the quest.

* You can eat the sweet roll before Butch has a chance of asking you for it, which will then activate a different scenario than most would experience.

Easter Egg
The Sweetroll Scenario has been a staple of Elder Scrolls character generation quizzes since Arena. The scenario is acted out firsthand in Fallout 3, and the answers to the question in the TES series are quite similar to the potential responses to Butch's demands. Also, the Sweetroll is mentioned in an idle dialog in the city of Skingrad in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion when talking about Salmo the Baker's goods, and is also the object of obsession for the manic Fimmion in TES IV's expansion pack, The Shivering Isles.
