I do not believe that is a possum. That looks like something that runs down the alleyways of NYC at night. Yes, the link even says "possum" right in it. But dude, that's no possum.
The word possum starts to sound weird when you've typed it enough times. Possum.0 -

Didn't that word used to start with an "O"?
Weird how words change and evolve before our eyes. When I was a child, I went to the doctor for a "Preventative" check-up. Now my kids go for a "Preventive" check-up. They just lopped off an entire syllable!0 -

See previous page for difference between Opossum and Possum0 -
lololol
I've actually eaten possum once before and it was stringy/tough and didn't taste very good [old river bottom catfish are more preferable, and they taste like old river bottoms, ha]. something tells me that even with all the marinade in the universe it would still taste like it ate out of the dumpster every day...
Opossum, much like raccoon, bear, deer, other wildlife animals, etc...the meat tends to take on the flavour of what they eat. So if you catch a Opossum (other wildlife creature) in the urban/rural areas they will be tough and taste like garbage (main food source in these areas). However, If you catch one from the deep woods, where they feed on rodents, insects, plants, and berries, they are much less tough and more flavourful.0 -

The possum was a joke, but I have used this recipe with chicken.
Darn. I thought, "Hey, someone else with an unusual kitchen!"
Wouldn't object to possum, but don't have access to it. Or celery. Or an hour and a half's worth of reliable electricity for an oven, LOL. I'm pretty good at substitutions, though.
Chicken, meh. Which do you suppose would work better as a possum substitute: goat, water buffalo, ostrich or mountain goat?
none.
Oppossum is a marsupial so a wombat, koala, shrew, quoll, or kangaroo would be a suitable substitution.

Kangaroo is delicious, I eat it often. Very lean, quite gamey and a great substitution for beef mince. Also makes awesome salami.0 -

Darn. No marsupials around here. Some people do eat rat. Don't know if I'd eat it; I've never been offered any. But it would probably be suitably stringy and gamey. And I'm sure it would benefit from a liberal dosing of beer, whiskey and/or tabasco sauce.

The American Opposum is a filthy creature that eats carcasses. The Aussie Possum looks edible

Yes to grilled on a stick. But no teriyaki sauce -- mud homes in villages aren't exactly well-supplied with teriyaki sauce
The meat is supposed to be quite tasty, though, because they're field rats that have only eaten rice.

They're bin-thieves and while mostly vegetarian are known to eat grubs, insects and carrion when its around.0 -
Australian Possums are a protected animal, it'd be like eating a Koala. Interfering with a Possum is also illegal.0
