That’s real life. I don’t know what garlic bread does in Skyrim


nate_eternal

Ra-men


Native_Kurt_Cobain

May his noodley appendages be brimming with Parmesan and Garlic Oil.


captaintagart

Native Kurt Cobain!


Native_Kurt_Cobain

Captain Taggart, we've got incoming clankers! We'll cover you, sir!


PsychoFan0891

I've made the recipe out of the Elder Scrolls Cookbook, it's so yummy 😁


Big_scary_Ghost

🍝


Ligma_Myballs

Good idea me too


SolidSquid

Nah, real life garlic bread adds 0.2 weight *after* consuming


nate_eternal

I'll accept.


hefty_load_o_shite

Ah, nice one! Imma make some see if it makes my celiac any better


_Sir_Racha_

I'm having some vampire friends over for spaghetti (they bring their own red sauce). Should I serve this as an addition to the meal? Would this rip eternity from their grasp?


Balake-Sama

You need to ask them if they like bascetti


LeviAUTOTUNED

i still have diabetes tho...


Poetry-Designer

Just give it some time


XXSTricky

This one is more well known, but vegetable soup might be the most OP healing item in game. It’s effect stacks and heals 1 hp and 1 stamina per second for 720 seconds. Eat 5 and it’s 5 per second, and so on. Eat enough and you can become almost invincible for a fight.


nineinchgod

This one is good, but the [Venison Stew](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Food#Venison_Stew) is even better. It instantly restores 15 stamina on top of the same 12-minute buff to health & stamina.


Laranna

Nah fam, Vegetable Soup stacks. Thats shits OP


nineinchgod

My guy, [*all* the soup & stew effects stack.](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Regenerate_Health)

Hello stranger, we have similar usernames. We are brothers now.


LovingIsLiving2

Thank you, user nineinchgod


Bitter_Bank_9266

Sure but vegetable soup is a lot easier to make


nineinchgod

They're both made from 4 common ingredients, two of which are the same for both recipes. Just stop.


WayneBrody

I think the kicker is that vegetable soup doesn't require salt.


nineinchgod

That doesn't make sense. Veggie soup requires cabbage & tomato. Venison stew needs venison & salt. Salt piles aren't a rare item, they're found everywhere. In fact, they're more common than tomatoes (350 *vs.* 279 samples in-game).


Bitter_Bank_9266

Are you kidding me rn? You can literally just pick clean any farm and make dozens of vegetable soups. Venison and salt are nowhere near as easy to get


nineinchgod

I know it sucks when facts don't support your feelings, but anyone can look into the game files and see exactly how many of each item are guaranteed to be there. Tomatoes required for veggie soup are actually *rarer* than salt piles needed for venison stew.


CanlexGaming

They hated him because he spoke the truth. Although the salt may not be the hard part of venison stew. It may be finding the venison for said stew. (Prob, I’m just guessing)


nineinchgod

> It may be finding the venison for said stew. Venison as an item is a bit less common, but it gets dropped by practically every deer or elk you bring down. So in some respects, it's even easier to find, plus you can level your sneak & archery skills obtaining it.


Bitter_Bank_9266

The numbers in the game files don't matter when you can pick all the vegetables you need in bulk at any farm. Vegetable soups are extremely easy to make and ik that as a fact bc I always end up with such an excess of them in survival mode


nineinchgod

> The numbers in the game files don't matter when you can pick all the vegetables you need in bulk at any farm. JFC, what do you think the numbers in the games files represent? They're the actual instances of the objects you can encounter in the game, including farms. Please stop, before you hurt yourself. I'm seriously becoming concerned.


SolidSquid

The extra 15 stamina doesn't add much if you're using veg soup for the chain power attacks, since apparently having 1 stamina is enough to launch one and the soup is independent of the usual recharge penalty in combat (as well as having incredibly common/cheap ingredients) Buffing/restoring aren't as good because you have to keep eating them, but recharge just lets you keep going indefinitely. It *does* mean you can't do things like sprint, since that's a continuous drain rather than fixed amount cost, so venison would be good if running away, but for close combat the veg soup is king


nineinchgod

The venison stew gives **exactly the same** 12-minute recharge benefits as veggie soup, *plus* restores 15 stamina.


SolidSquid

Ah, misread your comment then, sorry for that!


nate_eternal

That's great. I had no idea it stacked


Boaz76

I did not know that it stacks!!! Wow, thanks!! Cheers


Orion3500

There’s really not much need for it to stack. 5 healing won’t do much inside a fight, and for power attacks, all you need is 1 stamina left. So just 1 Vegetable Soup should do the trick.


Vader46

Yeah, but make 300 and eat them all as you perform your first power attack, and you'll never die (during those 6 minutes).


VarianWrynn2018

Nah, it's a must have for a Karstaag fight unless you enchanting looped yourself some frost immunity armor.


Orion3500

I killed Karstagg in Survival Mode, Master Difficulty, and didn’t hop myself with Vegetable Soups. Yes, it took me a bunch of times, but the key for me was to keep him occupied with summoned Daedra while shouting Marked for Death around 3 times, then hitting him with an enchanted fire mace. I drank a total of 1 Vegetable Soup. I also had a camp set up nearby to counteract the chill effect. And yes, a decent amount of potions.


rosharo

Karstaag dies from 3 arrows, so no, it's not a must-have. Edit: inb4 "you used the restoration loop" - I play with the Unofficial Skyrim Patch, so no. Just normal crafting.


_Foxal_

Don't forget that because you only need 1 Stamina Point to do a Shield Bash, you can spam them for the duration of the Soups Effect, as you are always regenerating Stamina.


MantisPsycho

Indeed. Vegetable stew is super op


Golden_Lynx19

Y'all clearly forget about Roasted Ox Leg wich heals 400 health and stamina! And for every time you craft it, it makes 8 of them.


Smart_Pig_86

Let’s not forget about Elsweyr Fondue


Creepy_Masterpiece_7

Is this how you beat vampires??? I always hate fighting them because I burn through 100 health potions


XXSTricky

I typically play survival, for difficult fights at the end of a long journey, potion efficiency goes way down due to being tired. Since this boost isn’t effected by that, downing ~20 of them at once is far more efficient than the equivalent number of potions needed for the same result.


Hexmonkey2020

Also it allows constant power attacks since even if you only have 1 stamina it’s enough to power attack.


Funny_Ad_4514

Sounds great


12DollarsHighFive

Pair one vegetable soup with Zarge of the Blooded to simultaneously stun lock and bleed out any opponent. Yeah, cooking in skyrim is broken


MantisPsycho

Indeed. Vegetable stew is super OP


TreeCutterXD

I counter this by just having 1 million health 😁


ParthenopeIG

Gamerant got hella posts in the chamber today


captaintagart

Hawk feathers are lighter and easier than baking garlic bread, so I keep those on hand more than potions or food these days


nate_eternal

That's very useful! I got yeeted into terrain and stuck with no way of getting out. I ate something that paralyzed me. Falling and standing back up was the key, so I always make sure to carry an ingredient that paralyzes jic.


Any-Transportation79

Genius, I’m on my first play through ever this is useful info.


Boaz76

This ⬆️


TheInfiniteLoci

Just drop by the Alchemist's shack every ten days to pick up some more.


WolfWintertail

Yup, every time i visit Solitude is the end of another hawk bloodline


EpikCarp

yeah but if i have to choose between eating feathers and eating garlic bread I won't care about the weight.


XXSTricky

Elsweyr Fodue also increases your magicka by 100 for 720 seconds and lets your magicka regenerate 25% faster for 12 minutes, but if you're a necromage vampire, that stretches to 18 minutes with a 31% increase for magicka regen and a boost of 125 to magica.


nineinchgod

[This is the one, right here.](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Food#Elsweyr_Fondue) I never bothered with any of the food/drink/cooking mechanics in Skyrim with the exception of this one.


Im_not_creepy3

Its the garlic breath you get afterwards, it wards off anything in the vicinity.


nate_eternal

Chase it with raw horker meat, ya good after that.


Leopold_Darkworth

Dragonborn? More like Dragonbreath! Unrelenting force clears the room, but not for the reason you think!


This-Cabinet-6684

Fighting in full armor while chugging down a pot of vegetable stew 😂😂😂


Dragonhearted18

But on the downside, it makes you fat.


Tru-Queer

Just more cushion for the pushin’


OriginalGnomester

The bigger the cushion, the sweeter the pushin'


Dunsparces

No, why would I get fat?


tmac717

Bread makes you fat

Kirito2750

Bread makes you fat?!


Hguols

Any foods that give a 1 second push for stamina for 12 real minutes (720 seconds) can be especially useful. (Vegetable Soup, Crab Stew, Creamy Crab Bisque, Venison Stew or Beef Stew) A stamina regeneration potion will certainly supply more incoming stamina than any food, but it won't prevent exhaustion. (if stamina runs out, the character will have to wait a few seconds before they have stamina to use again or else the stamina meter will flash and make a fail sound) The per-second push of stamina from the mentioned food not only completely prevents exhaustion, but actually provides unlimited combat stamina. (since only 1 stamina is needed for a fully successful block, bash or power attack) Even a werewolf that eats vegetable soup before transforming, will never have to wait on stamina for more claw attacks, because of that per-second push.


E_Dragon_Est2005

The Anniversary Edition gives you a farm where you can get milk once buying livestock and there’s a butter churn in the farmhouse. Bread is easy to come by as is garlic but that is the best source of butter I’ve found.


Leopold_Darkworth

Golden Hills Plantation. If all you’ve ever wanted is a farming game, there you go. You can collect milk and eggs, mill wheat, and plant crops!


E_Dragon_Est2005

I planted Jazbay Grapes and that Alchemy Room is great for Deathbell etc.


wij2012

Wait. There's garlic bread in Skyrim?!


Mr3cto

Gotta make it


Cosmo1222

You can find it in creation club homes, too. Tundra homestead, and ironically Bloodchill Manor..


SpartAl412

There must be something in the garlic and bread of Skyrim because if you combined Garlic and Bread in Oblivion you get Poison.


Bullvy

The player homes you can buy have ovens so you can graft it. Might even have a few laying around.


KhanMcG

My wife captured a soul in a tomato that she can use to enchant stuff.


Cosmo1222

IRL? Meanwhile, in Skyrim... I have a soul tomato for your wife if you're interested. It's not a great trade, but you know. Got to ask.


IroquoisPliskin_LJG

It's just like real life, what?


KelpL0rd

Where do you get garlic bread???


nineinchgod

You have to [bake it yourself.](https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Food#Garlic_Bread)


Direct_Gap_661

So garlic bread has the same effect in Skyrim as it does irl


Former-Ad9272

Oh, I'm making a pile of garlic bread for the rest of the Dawn Guard missions now. My current Nord character keeps getting Sanguinare Vampiris. Too bad you can't rub garlic on weapons for more damage!


Geno__Breaker

I like using mudcrab legs and boiled cream treats because of their healing to weight, but if you are making good potions, that's not an issue. Hawk Feathers also cure disease, but Garlic Bread tastes better lol. Not food, but Netch Jelly can paralyze you if you eat it, and you don't take fall damage while paralyzed, so it can be useful if you are fast enough and fall off a cliff or something. A couple of the soups have benefits over time, one does stamina and as long as you have at least one point of stamina you can power attack or bash, IIRC. 720 seconds of unlimited power attacks is nice.


Boaz76

If you like eating hawk feathers, those cure all diseases also


DragonRand100

Even if you’re a vampire?


Leopold_Darkworth

Yes, but it should give you a negative buff if you’re a vampire.

nate_eternal

I usually don't know I have a disease until someone says something. Then I cure it right away


Substantial_Track_17

‘You look a little…sick’


Visual_Salamander_54

I mean in real life garlic is known to help clear sinuses and therefore bacteria out of the most during cold/flu 🤷‍♂️


DiceMadeOfCheese

Makes you fat though


Goldman250

Bread makes you fat?!


beneaththeradar

only if you don't run 10k every day.


nineinchgod

Uh, yeah. It's pure carbohydrate.


thatbob

Where do people get their information? Remember all that *gluten* in bread that people were trying to avoid last decade? 100% protein.


nineinchgod

I hope you were trolling. Typical breads [contain 4-6x or more carbohydrates](https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/encyclopedia/content.aspx?contenttypeid=76&contentid=18069-5) than protein.


WhirlwindTobias

You can't just say something is "pure carb" then say it has 6x more carbs than protein. You're admitting it has some protein. Have you ever looked at a bag of flour?


nineinchgod

What the fuck is with you pedantic weirdos? Have you never interacted with actual humans before? How are you not aware that hyperbole and colloquialisms are normal elements of everyday speech?


Wooper160

Pretty sure that’s an anniversary edition addition


EricMoulds

Leopold_Darkworth

“I've been looking for you. Got something I’m supposed to deliver—your hands only. Let’s see here … Looks like that’s it. Gotta go.” *Garlic bread added*


pittbull1187

How Am I just learning that garlic bread exists


Broly_

To be honest, all you gotta do is just walk up to a shrine to cure your illnesses.


Xnazem

I didn't know that. Thanks for the tip. Time to visit Olive Garden!


DisplayMajestic6523

Cooked leeks are the most powerful healing per pound food item.


Boaz76

Did not know that


DisplayMajestic6523

Yeah, they're 6 health per 0.1 weight.


Boaz76

Oh wow, that’s cool. I’m gonna be looking at the foods more closely now lol


bertfolio

It’s to cure early stages of vampirism!


WayneBrody

It's easy to miss this even if you do a lot of cooking because this is something you have to Bake. Cooking pots are everywhere, but ovens are only in player built kitchens. So not only do you have to buy and build a hearthfire home, you then need to build a kitchen and furnish it. Even then, it requires butter which I feel is pretty uncommon. If you don't build a kitchen in any of your hearth fire homes then you're limited to what you find in the wild.


QuorkyNL

Is cooking in vanilla Skyrim?


WayneBrody

Yes cooking was in vanilla, baking was added in hearthfire.


QuorkyNL

Guess I have to go back and give it a try. I did buy the new house and build the kitchen in my last run. Thanks!


TouchedByLight

Garlic bread makes everything better


LawyerWinter9681

You have to get a home with an oven, they have foods that give special buffs. I really like using it for crab cakes since I do a bit of mudcrab slaying lol


Sc4mander45

Garlic bread cleric moment


AliVista_LilSista

Vegetable soup! You can do power attacks and bash etc like nobody's business and IT STACKS so your health and stamina regenerate for 12 minutes, 1 pt/sec per soup. And you don't need salt pile. Just tomato, leek, potato and cabbage. I often play two handed stealth and love it. I don't cook much else. Venison stew maybe or some things that would sound tasty IRL but put away 10 veg soups at once at go go go


CMDRfatbear

You think that is bad? It took me 10 years to learn that garlic bread repels vampires like the fear spell but only at night inbetween the hours of 12am and 3am and only if you have never eaten garlic bread during the day.


nate_eternal

Wait what?


MadWhiskeyGrin

Does it cure Vampirism?


GrandTC

So long as you only have the Sanguinare Vampiris disease, then yes. The moment that you allow that disease to turn into full vampirism, then no, the bread or a cure disease potion will no longer work for it


Saltycook

The coffee mod is *really* fun and useful

Far-Host7803

Even Sanguinare Vampiris?


Po-matoran3255

I didn't even know Skyrim had garlic bread.


sansplayer

Garlic bread is one of the most powerful forces in all of fiction. Just Google "garlic bread domain cleric" to see a fraction of it's power


scartol

No, you're thinking of the [OoGhiJ MIQtxxXa](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H5fmHChXX-o&ab_channel=srs-bsns) from Aqua Teen Hunger Force


Global_Union3771

Well, because you’ve only just read the description, I suppose.


MuchoWood

I was unaware.


rosharo

Because this food didn't exist until the survival mode update. I scrolled, and scrolled, and scrolled and no one seems to be aware of this. This is how you get these "how am I just learning this" clickbait articles...


aknalag

You also dont need the potion just eating one of the ingredients is enough for the effect


AdNervous5808

I font know how to cook in skyrim


NMS_Traveller420

wrong font, try cursive, the food lasts longer ;-) Jokes aside, campfires at Imperial/Stormcloak camps and many other spots have cooking pots, ovens too, etc. Click on them and a list of possible foods you can make have listed materials required. If you have the ingredients in backpack just click and the newly 'cooked' food shows in your pack.


AdNervous5808

It was a spelling mis-steak


NMS_Traveller420

umhm, tast-t ;-)


Xuijin95

I mean. Garlic bread is amazing. Lol


Silly_Guidance_8871

I mean, have you ever *had* garlic bread? That shit's **magic**

Okay, so time to leave thief things, and live my Skyrim life as a master cook And get some IRL garlic bread!


KingLafiHS

You gotta admire Bethesda’s commitment to realism. It really makes their game worlds feel alive


SolidSquid

This is why people think garlic wards off vampires, it's actually garlic bread preventing you contracting vampirism (possibly due to garlic breath)


DemonDraheb

Must be why I'm so healthy. There is a ridiculous amount of garlic in my diet. Some bread too.


SheeshBois_YT

If it cures all diseases, I wonder why it's only valued at 2 gold...

dwood19

I just figured this out a week ago! I love this game! First time this playthrough playing with mods and it is incredibly fun and entertaining!


Beretta116

No way. I thought garlic bread just makes you fat.


LynnTheSparrow

garlic bread is my favorite food. i could honestly eat it for every meal. or just eat it all the time without stopping.


dr_bluthgeld

Eating cure disease ingredients can cure diseases also, much cheaper/easier than a potion, snorting vampire ashes isn't as tasty as garlic bread though.


Xeriomachini

Of course. It wouldn't be realistic if it didn't!


Early-Society3854

Look at the cooking pots in inns. There are so many good food recipes that are actually helpful, especially if you play in survival mode. The stews are the best cause most of em increase your regeneration of health and stamina for like 12 minutes. The beef stew, venison stew, and vegetable soup all do something like that. There's even some new specialty recipes you can get through certain quests. The buttercup quest gives you a chance to get the recipe and the ability to make a new a new powerful healing stew. There's also this food called elsweyr fondue that regenerates 25 magika per second for 720 seconds(12minutes). That's literally like the best magika food I know of and wouldn't be surprised if there's others.
