I didn't use any oil in the first instance, but then I put in margarine when I reheated it and it came out good.

We are backsliders in the low fat food category these days.

How do you go about cooking "Possum"?

Possums are one animal I don't like, and not just not like to eat them. I think they are worse than rats.

Well, okay then.

Possum Pot Pie


Ingredients:
1 cup glazed huckleberries
3 shots gin or moonshine
1 possum
---if roadkill: make jambalaya
---if caught: proceed with recipe
1 pie crust
sliced carrots & cabbage to taste
Directions:
Cover a pan (or any implement you can put in a fire) with the bottom of your pie crust, and place the possum in it. Add the huckleberries and carrots, and shred the cabbage over it. Close up the pie and bake until the neighbors' dogs come sniffing around to see what the wonderful smell is, or until the fire department arrives (whichever comes first). Remove pie from fire/oven, slice, and enjoy.

mmmmmm. That makes me hungry.

I've been wanting to cook this one laying in the back of my truck for 2 weeks.

[peggydavis]

I hope it has been frozen the whole time.

Actually I have read that people in the south caught possums and thought they were quite tasty.

[mkfarnam]

That's true, The Beverly Hillbillies too.

They're mostly fat.
In Ca. I woke up to a loud crunching noise. I went in the kitchen and 2 big fat possums with rat tail over 2 1/2 ft, long, eating the cat food. They got in through the dryer exhaust vent.

Thanks, I will add maybe a fourth of a cup and see how that goes.
