IIRC all members of the Pinus genus are non-toxic. 

For an interesting treat try taking strips of the inner bark from young
(pine)  branches, and roasting them (say 150 C, for 20 minutes or so). 
Sweet, but still with a bit of the resiny flavour left. Not documentable
as medieval, to the beast^H^H^H^H^Hbest of my knowledge, though.

P.S. 150 C is close enought for our purposes to 300 F. Come on guys, it
is after all the century of the fruitba... oops, 20th century.
