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...0 -
Can this be done with a steak or pot roast or is the possum essential? lol0

Interesting. I've never heard of anyone eating possum.
Won't lie though… I just lost my appetite.0 -

I think I'd need more than an ounce of whiskey to eat possum.0

My grandmother grew up during the Depression and she used to eat possum.0

I'd try it with possum. The worst thing i ever had was groundhog. It's greasy.
Where i live strange foods are normal and normal foods are strange...0 -

I think I would need 4 times that much alcohol to get over the fact I'd be eating possum.

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?

I think we have a "road-kill" law in Tennessee that states you can take home anything you hit. This made me think of that!
