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.
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.
Gross. :sick:0 -

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
