Sweet 'Taters And 'Possum

Recipe By:Arthur and Bobbie Coleman

AmountMeasureIngredientPreparation Method
1Possum
Saltas needed
8Sweet potatoes
2tablespoonsButter
1tablespoonSugar
Bacon slicesas needed
Thyme or marjoramto taste
Freshly-ground black pepperoptional

First, catch a young fat 'possum. This, in itself, affords excellent
sport on moonlit nights in the fall. Remove the 'possum's fur, either
by skinning or by soaking the 'possum in hot lye water, being careful
not to get any on the hands. Clean, take off the head and feet (unless
you want to cook it like whole roast pig), and wash well. Salt the
'possum well inside and out and freeze overnight, either outdoors or
in the refrigerator.

When ready to cook, peel sweet potatoes and boil them 'til tender
in slightly-salted water (to which 2 tablespoons of butter and 1
tablespoon of sugar have been added). At the same time, stew the
'possum 'til tender in a tightly-covered pan with a little water.
Arrange the potatoes around the 'possum, strip with bacon, sprinkle
with thyme or marjoram, (pepper is optional), and brown in the
oven. Baste with the drippings often. Served hot, sweet 'taters and
'possum, is "a dish fit fer a king!" Yum, Yum !!

Don't knock it 'til you try it !!

Possum Stew Recipes

Answer 3

Possum recipes? If you want to contract an infection...then eating possum is one of the best ways to do this. They are scavengers and eat disposal...especially cat poop and cat litter. Hummm, cooking a possum would then mean you are also eating the foods they have ingested.

Possums can also be a problem for farmers. Possums can spread a disease called 'bovine tuberculosis' to cows, cattle and deer. If the farmer's animals get tuberculosis they will get sick and may die.

Safe? I think not. Try rabbit instead.

Answer 4

I can't offer any preparation tips for possum, but I would advise you to avoid using any of the possum that actually made contact with the tire, and whatever you were drinking when you had the idea of eating possum will probably go nicely with it.

Answer 5

Possum Recipes

We don't encourage the routine killing of opossum for food. However, it is considered acceptable to cook and eat any possum found lying dead along the road after recently being hit by a car.

In military survival training we are taught to never kill a possum just for the fun of it because they are one of the few animals in the wild that a man can catch with his bare hands-well, you'll need a stick or a rock too. (Porcupines and snakes are in a similar category.) Of course, if you really need the meat for your family, that's a whole 'nother story.



Remove as much hair and fat as possible from the animal after he is skinned. Also, they can be soaked in salt water or vinegar water in the cellar overnight before cooking, or if you are fortunate enough to have an ice box, that will work too. You can simmer him for a spell in water with salt and pepper before cooking. Simmer until meat begins to become tender..

Since the meat does have a "different" flavor, you may wish to serve it with sauerkraut, sweet-sour red cabbage, radishes, barbecue sauce, A-1 Steak Sauce, Tabasco Sauce, etc.. Possum don't taste much like chicken.

Vegetarians can eat the vegetables and toss the possum after cooking. since road kill would be considered accidental death; they could still claim they did not kill an animal for food. "Vegetarian" in these parts of the mountains means "A man who can't hunt."

Baked sweet potatoes and possum continues to be a local favorite. Persimmons, also a local native plant, is also a favorite among connoisseurs of fine dining.

You can add or subtract from the following list of ingredients depending on what you have ripe in your garden at the time, what needs to come out of the cellar, or what is left over at the end of the day at the farmer's market..

If you want to eat truly healthy, lose body fat consistently, normalize your blood pressure, cholesterol levels, prevent cancer, and even boost your brain health and energy levels, you may have heard all over the news that the Paleo Diet has been found to be one of the best methods of achieving all of these benefits compared to any other popular "fad" diets out there. Go here https://biturl.im/aU4zM

The truth is that the Paleo Diet will never be considered a fad because it's just simply the way that humans evolved to eat over approximately 2 million years. And eating in a similar fashion to our ancestors has been proven time and time again to offer amazing health benefits, including prevention of most diseases of civilization such as cancer, heart disease, alzheimers, and other chronic conditions that are mostly caused by poor diet and lifestyle. One of the biggest misunderstandings about the Paleo Diet is that it's a meat-eating diet, or a super low-carb diet. This is not true
