Sweetroll

The Sweet Roll 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 rotary 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 Sweet Roll Scenario is a postulated scenario given to the Player in another Bethesda-made game, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, at the beginning during a survey in the Census and Excise office (similar in function to the G.O.A.T.). The scenario is acted out firsthand in Fallout 3, and the answers to the question in Morrowind 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: Morrowind 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.
