Are Possums Good Eating?

[runamuk]

Well if you get serious and need some other recipes let me know.....I have a cookbook that should contain a few...

The treasury of White trash cooking 

for instance here are some recipe names from the book

Smoked mullet dip 

Cooter kebabs...Iceman might like that recipe 

baked possum and sweet potatoes

Glennie nells roast christmas possum

hogs head cheese 

The book even tells you how to butcher some of the critters right in the recipe

I think if we were to put a possum in front of Iceman he could make it into some pretty good eats. 

Possums are kinda cute as long as they don't smile at you.

Saw a car hit one loaded up with babies.  It looked like a possum bomb went off, with little baby possum nuggets all over the road.  I suppose the babies could be batter dipped and deep fried whole...yummy crunchy hell nuggets!

I had 'coon stew once when I was a lot younger at one of the mountain man/blackpowder rendezvous type things. . .the stew had coon, squirrel, and rabbit it it. . .it was good. . .so I would eat coon. . .I would have to be starving and have no other options to eat a possum though. . .

[bowhunterforever]

I would never eat possum! Thats just sick!

[rasbo]

I would eat my hunting buddies arm first

I would eat my hunting buddy's armPIT first 

[bowhuntin]

  I think I would rather try eating dirt before I ate a possum. Those things look like overgrown rats. 

[ICEMAN]

No kidding. Those I see run over and opened up don't look like red meat to me....    Maybe they are the other white meat?   

Plus, I used to have the only kill what you intend to eat philosophy....then I started hunting coyote and whacking the occasional problem opossum... my philosophy has changed...
