Favorite possum recipes!

So, a lady who works with my sister went home the other night and told her son to take out the trash. Her son takes out the trash and comes back and tells his mom there's a possum in the trash can. She goes out and looks, and sure enough, there's a fuzzy possum hiding in the trash can.

So she shoots it.

A policeman heasr her gun and drives up, asking what she shot. She says, "Look in the trash can."

So he looks in the trash can, and there's a dead possum. He gets his cell phone and calls his grandmother.

"Granny? Do you want some fresh possum?"

Granny shows up, picks the dead possum out of the trash can, and asks for a bag to put it in.

So, how do you prepare your possum? What do you think Granny did with hers? $\:D/$

Eww, I don't even want to think about one, honestly.

Anyone ever listen to that cheesy radio show, Patch the Pirate? An unforgettable song from that was "Possum Pot Pie". I think the lyrics went something like:

Possum pot pie, oh possum pot pie
I love every morsel, each ear and each eye
Yum, yum, what a treat
It's time to eat
I can't get enough of that possum pot pie!

Really wonderful material for a children's show, wouldn't you say? Also, does anyone actually spell it, "opossum"?

There's a difference between possum and opossum? O_O

Never knew that. We always say possum for opossum.

Eh, possum or opossum is fine with me. Just put it on the BBQ, add a little sauce, put it on a bun, and voila!

And for extra flavour, just add peanut butter!

Hey you'd think we liked the same kind of shows or something... that's what I was thinking too! $\:D/$
Personally I just throw the whole thing into a slowcooker, add a little moonshine and let er go for a while... when the meat's falling off the bones we skim the fur off the top and everyone gathers round and helps themselves... it's a neighbourhood treat!
