Possum is the only animal which smells like roadkill before it is run over.

I saw Eustice eat a roadkill possum on Mountain Man. He was so happy as he roasted it on a open fire. I guess you could say he had a big ole possum grin.

This right here is why I registered with this site.....

Anytime people say I'm different, I'm off, I do or eat weird things.....I just find a thread here that reminds me there are people a whole lot weirder than myself.

When it comes to eating possum I will never get that thought into a positive.
Not picking on you , but even the visual thought is rough on me.

Survival only list.

Granny was always cooking possum for Jed and Jethro. They seemed to like it.

Just be sure to save the butt hole so you have something to wipe your tongue with to try to get the taste out of your mouth.

A young properly cleaned and handled possum is good eating. Is there better less time
Consuming meat to eat yes but it’s not bad meat

I have given them to folks who asked for them over the years.
They usually parboil them with onions and seasonings. This removes the fat. Then they bake them.
I have never eaten one. I don't want to. There are many other things that I can acquire on my own that I actually like to eat.
But I would not say I would never eat one. After a few days on NOTHING, I am sure it would taste exactly like filet......maybe..

I have heard from several reliable sources that an opossum will eat its way into a dead cow and make the cow's stomach move and noises come out of them.
