This is sad but people in Kentucky and Tennessee out in the hills really shoot possums to eat them:( they think they're good.
Way to put down someone's lifestyle. Opossum is a common meal for people who hunt for their own food. The internet is loaded with possum recipes. I've never tried it, but I wouldn't hesitate to sit down at the table for this:
Ingredients:
1 large possum, skinned, dressed, and washed
1 quart beer
4 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
1 1/2 tablespoon salt
2 onions, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
4 sweet potatoes
2 ribs celery, chopped
1 ounce whiskey
directions:
Mix the beer, whiskey, salt, Tabasco sauce, and Worcestershire sauce together. Place possum in a large roasting pan. Sprinkle the celery, onions, and the garlic all over the possum. Pour the liquid mixture over the possum as well. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Preheat oven to 350F. Place the sweet potatoes around the possum. Bake covered for 1 1/2 hours. Baste once or twice with the marinade from the pan as the possum cooks.
Now doesn't that sound like any roast? Hugs, Devlyn
