📋 About This Mod
This is a compilation and expansion of my Missing Food series, which adds in several food items - as well as a drink item - that were mentioned in Skyrim in dialogue or books but did not actually appear in the game.
---
Skeever Liver
"You like Skeever liver? No? Tough luck."
(Purchasable at the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood)
Fried Potatoes
"I still need you to make a batch of those fried potatoes. We can serve them with the ale."
(Purchasable at the Sleeping Giant Inn in Riverwood)
Pumpernickel Bread
"Maybe, but they wouldn't taste as good as a loaf of fresh-baked pumpernickel."
(Purchasable at Carlotta's stall in Whiterun)
If you have AnimObject Swapper installed, an included config will give eating NPCs a chance to be eating Pumpernickel Bread
"I wanted to thank you again for the mince pie you sent over. It was delicious."
(Purchasable at Hillevi Cruel-Sea's stall in Windhelm)
Chaurus Pie
"Nils, she says, if your chaurus pie is so good, you should write down the recipe."
(Purchasable at Candlehearth Hall in Windhelm)
Braidwood Ale
"There's an inn at Kynesgrove - the Braidwood. I hear they serve a nice dark ale."
(Purchasable at the Braidwood Inn in Kynesgrove)
If you have Base Object Swapper installed, an included config will swap bottles of Ale in Kynesgrove with Braidwood Ale
Potage le Magnifique
"I have served bowls of the Potage le Magnifique that have caused grown men to weep with joy."
Potage le Pathétique
"A sweetroll. The next ingredient is... vampire dust. We shall now add... a giant's toe! You must add... a septim."

Apple Pie
Additionally, due to the addition of Mince Pie (which uses the vanilla game's "Apple Pie" appearance, sharing it with the Homecooked Meal), Apple Pie has been given its own unique appearance.

Flagged as ESL.[/
This mod compiles and expands the Missing Food series, adding food and drink items mentioned in Skyrim's dialogue or books but absent from the base game. It's a lore-friendly immersion mod for players who want to see those referenced items actually appear. With 68 endorsements and 37,230 downloads, it has a solid niche following.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lore nerds will love finally seeing those referenced foods and drinks actually in the game.
- Decent download count (37k) shows there's real demand for this kind of immersion fix.
- Compiles the whole Missing Food series into one package, so you don't need to track down multiple mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 68 endorsements compared to 37k downloads—lots of people grab it, but few bother to endorse, which might signal it's not a must-have for everyone.
- No mention of compatibility patches for popular overhauls like CACO or Survival Mode, so you might run into conflicts if you use those.
- Since it's a compilation, if you already had the individual Missing Food mods, this might overwrite or duplicate things—check your load order.
For Skyrim players who are deep into lore and immersion and want to see the world reflect the books and dialogue. If you're a completionist who hates when the game mentions something that doesn't exist, this is for you. Skip if you're not bothered by those gaps or if you prefer gameplay-changing food mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install this so you can easily uninstall if it conflicts with other food mods.
- If you use Survival Mode or a needs mod, check the load order to make sure this mod's items don't get overwritten.
- Look for patches if you have other mods that alter food items, like CACO, to avoid missing textures or renamed items.
