I think it might be worthwhile to look at various period cookbooks and
note where the recipe specifies that a coffin should be made of "fayre
paste". This term is often not defined, but flipping through "Take a
Thousand Eggs", I see a number of recipes where "fayre paste"
includes sugar, saffron, and salt. Sounds to me as though pastries
made of "fayre paste" are intended to have edible crusts.
