Favorite way to cook possum

[TheLBLman]

I like to remove all the bones, then cut the meat into "chicken strip" size pieces. Dip in milk, then roll in a 50% mix of regular flour and Aunt Jemima pancake mix. Then fry it up much like you might chicken or catfish. Salt & Pepper to taste.

Delicious!

If at all possible, the possum usually tastes better if you can feed him nothing but corn for about 3 days before "harvesting". Never really know what they've been eating, and the "corn fed" ones are usually the better eating.

So next time you set a trap for the neighborhood cat and catch a possum, ENJOY! :)

You can purge a wild animal with several foods.I wouldn't eat a nasty ass possum if he ate lobster for a year.A groundhog is another matter.

Possum is better than groundhog. Groundhogs have an "earthy" dirty taste to them.

And you'd be surprised what you might enjoy eating if you were hungry.

Ill never believe that a possum tastes better than a groundhog.

We've been socially conditioned to only eat or not eat certain things. But when you get right down to it, other than size, not a whole lot of difference between a possum and a pig.

If granny got an opossum, it went in with dumplings.

Comercially raised Chickens are about the most disgusting animale on the planet. Nearly everyone eats them several times per week.

I agree, as are commercially raised pigs.
By contrast, the opossum is free-range and organic meat. :)
