For some reason, I can't stop myself from wondering ... what would trilobite taste like? I assume you could grill one of them up just like most kinds of seafood, but would they taste like crawfish? mussels? Would they be palatable at all? > For some reason, I can't stop myself from wondering ... what would > trilobite taste like?

Only when they're fossilized. Caught fresh, they taste almost exactly like Sanctacaris and can be used in the same recipes. But if you only have access to commonly available chelicerates, you can substitute scorpion tails in most recipes (remove the stingers). I'm reading this in sci.anthropology.paleo, and wonder why abc crossposted his question here. If he has a hankering for grilled fillet of A'pith, he can forget about asking how that tastes. Personally, I think one should avoid dining on creatures too closely related to one's own species.

I don't eat anything that has its skeleton on the outside. They aren't noticably close to trilobites phylogenetically, I think. SignatureJohn S.

Nothing is phylogenetically close to trilobites. However I used to dissect Horseshoe crabs to get the muscle, Actually there isn't all that muscle worthy of eating, but I would suspect the muscle of the trilobyte would probably taste like crab muscle. Think Alaska King Crab which requires a pair of forceps to eat with ;^). BTW I beg to differ which your 'red'-chicken arugment at least Anchovies and Armadillos don't taste like chicken ;^).

Actually latinos have been eating armadillos alot longer than raidnacks. A raidnake rancher will pay you $1 a dillo to catch them, I watched one of our indigeonous texas bag $75 worth of them, though I don't think he ate them all.

Aux http://groups.yahoo.com/group/sciarchauxilliary/ Read Richard Fortey's book Trilobite! Eye witness to evolution. In it he consumed a horsehoe crab, one of the Trilobite's cousins. The only part of the creature which is edible are the yolk sacs inside the head region they have a strong taste, rancid and intense. > >> > Aardvark J.

Having a science fiction story in progress that deals with exactly this issue, I've given it some thought. My conclusion was that it would depend on what the trilobite was eating since this is often true of 'shellfish'. I'm serving mine up sushi style with a sweet/citrus sauce. The story gets rolling when a sushi chef serves it to a couple of paleontologists. --Rick Cook If I weren't interested in gardening and Ireland, I'd automatically killfile any messages mentioning 'bush' or 'Kerry' > For some reason, I can't stop myself from wondering ... what would > trilobite taste like?
