Does anyone have a tart apple they'd like to trade for a sweet apple?

I dunno when you get these but I 100% will once I get my sweet apple.

You can get new ones after you get the bike upgrade.

Edelgard and Hubert definitely top 2 for Black Eagles.

Most of it goes to sharing meals so everyone is always fully motivated for instructing

I've actually found myself running out of food ingredients. Is there a good way to get more, or do you just have to pray they show up at the greenhouse?

There's a merchant that sells ingredients.
edit: or I might be misremembering things. I never bought anything anyway, just used the greenhouse and fished a lot.

Just finished the Golden Deer route after 45 hours. I really liked it, but I'm also glad it's over. Especially the monastery parts after the time skips were too much. But even just going for all the dialogue and automatic teaching means about an hour per month, not including the fighting. I think I wasn't the only one, because I saw a high percentage of people selecting the rest option for the last couple of months.

General story spoilers:

It did all feel a bit disconnected. The feud between the empire and the kingdom isn't really ever developed. The Blue Lions really only appear one time and Dimitri is pretty much a non-factor in this route. Edelgards motivations are barely touched upon as well. The beasts weren't really explained either, nor if the church was (somewhat) evil or not. Though at least we killed the people behind all of it.

That said, I really enjoyed the first part, Claude carries that so well in his role as the leader of a misfit student detective squad. And the other students are great too. It then all comes together in a good climactic battle... and post time skip, the monastery is still mostly there, and the situation isn't great in the Alliance, but it's not terrible. (I mean, at least it didn't get divided up like the Kingdom.) Then Claude and his merry band come together again and go on an heroic campaign to defeat the Empire, unite Fodlan and eliminate racism/xenophobia. Classic good guy stuff, and while a bit of nuance or some dilemmas would have been appreciated, it still was an enjoyable story. Really funny and quite lighthearted. I have a feeling that the other two routes are a lot heavier.

Not everyone ended up being as well developed character wise, but I did end up liking everyone on the route. There were some nice surprises as well. Especially Lysithea as I didn't care at all for her pre time skip , Hilda somewhat, Marianne redeemed herself a lot as well, and Lorenz too. The others were a bit too tropy or too focused on a single core issue, without there being much development. Then again, some of the development is sometimes only found in a single support, so I might have missed it. I didn't really recruit that many people as I plan to play the other routes, though I did pick up Felix and Mercedes. Kinda glad I didn't recruit more of them it made it all a bit more emotional
Married Shamir as she's great, and I didn't want to be a perv and marry an ex-student of mine and Claude wasn't an option

I picked normal difficulty and I started to regret it 5 hours in and that didn't stop. Just a tad too easy. I'll probably wait a couple of weeks and then I'll do a NG+ on a different route in hard. It really is that good of a game, though I do wonder if the beginning isn't going to be too similar.

It's been really good so far, especially loving the monastery. Didn't have anything planned yesterday, so I'm already 10 hours in. Time just passes by so quickly while playing it.

I also feel that the monastery stuff has been main focus, and not the battles. (this might change later in the game of course) Which is fine for me, but might turn some people off.
