MAMA LEILA'S HAND - ME - DOWN OVEN -
BAKED POSSUM

After you kill the possum be careful not to let him get away. While you're talking and planning how you going to eat him, he's going to be slipping right from under your nose. All he was doing was playing possum. Skin him and clean him before you go another foot, then the mess is gone and he won't get away. When you get him home, rub salt and pepper all over his body then run a mixture of vinegar and brown sugar over the salt and pepper. Wrap up the possum in a good baking pan and let it stand in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning, put the pan with the possum still in it (hopefully) on top of stove. Add 2 or 3 spoons of bacon fat and sear him on all sides. Then add chopped onion (2 of them). Put in the oven and bake for 1 hour at 350 degrees. Pull him out and roll him over, and now you can add your sweet potatoes (just surround him with 'em). Put back in the oven and bake for another 1 1/2 hours or until he is tender and juicy.
"Possum is tender and milk regardless of what other people think, " Mama Leila say, "but you've got to watch 'em cause they'll slip away."

and sticking with the theme heres dessert...
POSSUM CREAM PIE

1 c. flour
1 stick butter
1 lg. container Cool Whip
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
1 1/2 c. chopped pecans
2 tsp. vanilla
Grated chocolate
1 lg. pkg. instant vanilla pudding
1 lg. pkg. instant chocolate pudding
1 (8 oz.) cream cheese

CRUST: Mix flour, 1 cup chopped pecans and butter. Press in bottom of an 8x13 inch pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool crust completely.
Mix cream cheese, 1/2 cup Cool Whip and 1 cup powdered sugar. Spread evenly over crust. Mix puddings separately according to directions using a little less milk so pudding will set thicker. Add 2 teaspoons vanilla to vanilla pudding. Add 1/4 cup powdered sugar to each pudding.

Gently spread each bowl of pudding over cream cheese filling. Spread remaining Cool Whip over pudding. Sprinkle 1/2 cup pecans and grated chocolate on top. Refrigerate long enough for pudding to set.

Answer 3

Gross....never had possum, I don't know.....I'd make it like a chicken. Banana pudding always works for dessert, and green beans for sidedish? Maybe not....
