I'm certain edible, even astoundingly delicious, is implied.  I have been on
the receiving end of thoroughly researched dishes prepared by the culinary
handicapped, as have a number of others on this list, judging from some of
the comments.  I am of the opinion that food must first be edible, then we
can go for historical accuracy.  Of course, once one opts to be a historical
cook, one had best be ready to demonstrate both historical knowledge and
culinary artistry, as you do.
