It took me a while, but I've come up with a recipe for your possum:
You'll need these ingredients
Your possum
salt & pepper
2 tbls olive oil
2 tbls fresh horseradish (chopped)
5 garlic cloves (smashed)
sweet potatoes
Skin and dress the possum. (making sure to remove all debris and road detritus) Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put the salt, pepper, olive oil, horseradish, and garlic cloves into a small bowl and whisk until it's all combined. Now rub the mixture into the possum. Heat up a large fry pan on high and sear all sides of the possum for about 2-3 mins. on each side until a nice golden brown.
While you're searing the possum, chop up your sweet potatoes. Get out your roasting pan, place about 1/2 inch of water in the bottom...toss in the sweet potatoes and add the possum. Put the lid on and bake for 2-3 hours or until the meat falls off the bones.
That's good eatin'
Let me know how that turns out for the two of you.

Possum, stewed, is supposed to be excellent eating ... a real prize in parts of the old South. If the possum was prepared not long after death or frozen until cooked, I don't think that there should be a problem. Find a good recipe. But I would tell your boyfriend what you are doing ... he might not like the idea and get very pissed off if he finds out after the fact ... be upfront about it.

It is very inhumane to treat the poor possums body in this manner. It should be given back to its family so that they may perform the ancient rites of possum burial. This rite involves laying the possum in the den and the other possums playing dead for three days and three nights in honor of the deceased.
Come to think of it, are you sure the possum you served wasn't just "playing possum"? A good indicator is if you hear strange screaming noises when you immerse it in boiling water, this is NOT gas escaping from the body cavity.

I consider it resourceful. The possum died accidentally so if your boyfriend insists on eating meat, why not? One meat is as good as another. Stew it on a low heat for a long time. Possum is tough.

I suppose it depends all on your intentions.
Now if you were playing "Karmaggeddon" with your SUV swerving to hit anything and everything you could to rack up the points, pulled over to fill up your tank for the third time that day, and just happened to notice it plastered to your grill thinking "DOH- not another trip to the car wash! Ohhh well, at least I solved my dinner issue for tonight!", well I'd classify that as slightly inhumane.
But, if it was an accident on the way to the grocery store and it saved you a trip, time, gas, money, and thought all the while thinking "Poor thing. I hope it didn't suffer. Oh well, at least I solved my dinner issue for tonight!", I'd say that's quite resourceful.
Either way, your bf should be lucky to be fed anything at all!

As long as you're dating Anthony Bourdain, no ploblem (does his wife know?). Anyone else, you might do well to cut and shape it, and maybe sass it up with a little French for delivery - "Fillet d'highway, mon amour?" If you can't afford a nice wine to go with, remember to throughly drain the possum of its remianing lifeblood - should be a perfect accompaniment.

Opossums are good if you have no one else to hang with. This reminds of the classic song " To dream the opossumable dream " from Donkey Hotey. I have some great recipes from the Road Kill Cafe. One is for rack of raccoon. You need plenty of spices to mask the flavor. By the way, when is dinner? I'll bring the dead skunk in the middle of the road stinking to high high heavens. I always liked that song. It appeals to my romantic side.

Very resourceful. Economical too. And if he likes the possum, there's always raccoons on the side of the road.
