Sorry, not buying painted writing, painted in pretty much anything, surviving over 100 years outdoors looking like that.

A literal engraved headstone would have significant wear on the writing.

This reeks of a fake touristy ghost town headstone.

When they talk of making glue from horses’ hooves, that’s what they’re talking about. Similar to gelatin.

The fact that it being sweet-tasting is one of the first line items of its definition is interesting. I’ve heard of “eating paste” being something stupid characters do in older media, and I never thought about why one would eat paste. I thought they were eating modern PVA/white glue or maybe wood glue.
