These tastyconsumable items come in many different shapes and sizes, and there are specific ones that the Dragonborn should keep an eye out for, depending on what they need. Before gorging, however, keep in mind that the effects of food (besides restoring health and stamina) do not stack and only 1 can be active at a time.
All edibles can be classified into 3 main categories: health-oriented, stamina-oriented, and effect-oriented, though, there is quite a bit of overlap between each group, meaning that some foods are simply better than others overall. There are also a bunch of lackluster consumable items that still have benefits, albeit ones that pale in comparison to more delicious treats, which means that players should gauge whether a food is worth the hit to one’s carrying capacity.

All Foods That Have Special Effects
While many of the foods that offer effects besides restoring health or stamina geteasily outclassed by potions, these edible consumables are often easier to make and discover throughout the world. However, some even possess traits that cannot be received by other means and should be saved for a special occasion instead of being eaten or drank wantonly. Mages, in particular, should seek out a few of these, as this food group offers a few magicka-related boons.
