Not to us, because we don't eat rocks and metal. If there's a planet out there whose apex predator species is silicaceous in the same way we're carbonaceous, then, there, my robot is halfway to being a cricket, and is probably quite tasty when properly prepared.

(I eagerly invite speculation on what, on our notional silicaceous Earth-analog, might constitute a parallel to veganism.)

Next time you're in the DC/Baltimore area, look me up! In exchange for a laugh like that, the least I can do is buy you a beer.
