| Did anyone catch the new television program Survivor on CBS Wednesday?
| Sixteen contestants on an uninhabited tropical island vying for a million
| dollar prize? Trashy, yet I'm already addicted.
|
| I know I'd be in a bad way if I was there. I'd be voted off the island pronto
| for spending all my time looking for shells.
|
| One of the contestants used dead rat to bait a fish trap. Wouldn't snails
| make better bait? Surely there must be some easily-gathered nerites or
| something. Then I got to wondering about chiton chowder and what sorts of
| mollusks these folks could find to eat.
|
| Some of you conch-lers, especially those who specialize in Pacific species,
| would have a definite advantage if you were among these network castaways.
| You'd know what to eat, what not to eat and what to leave alone (cones!).
|
| I have to ask the group, what would you eat on an island off  Borneo? What
| advice would you give these folks?
