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, 2274, in the Vault 101 Cafeteria, Old Lady Palmer gifts the Lone Wanderer with a sweetroll.

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 sweetroll by Old Lady Palmer. Once Andy eviscerates the cake with his circular saw, Butch accosts the player and demands they 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.

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 TES4's expansion pack, The Shivering Isles.

The item description reads "The sweetroll is most definitely not a lie" a reference to Portal, where the phrase "The cake is a lie" originated from.
