Yes, but a lot of work. The only edible parts are the legs, and they must be skinned after removing them from the animal (the inside of the shell is nothing but intestines). Breaded and deep fried, they taste like a combination of chicken and pork chop.

Depends! It can't hurt you if you leave it alone.

If you get too close to it's mouth it can bite you and that would hurt. However a snapping turtle has never been found that was armed with a gun or knife or any other weapon that could hurt you and there have never been any reports of snapping turtles kidnapping children or piloting an airplane into skyscrapers, or committing suicide bombings of any kind.

However it is very easy to hurt a snapping turtle. You can run over it with a car, picking it up by the tail can hurt it, and polluting it's habitat will kill it.
