Here in NC, we just shovel 'em into the oven fresh from the road.

Yummy.

1. Possum and Taters
Possum and Taters

  Ingredients:
1 young, fat possum
8 sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
salt

Directions: First, catch a possum. This in itself is excellent entertainment on a moonlight night. Skin the possum and remove the head and feet. Be sure to wash it thoroughly. Freeze overnight either outside or in a refrigerator. When ready to cook, peel the potatoes and boil them tender in lightly salted water along with the butter and sugar. At the same time, stew the possum tender in a tightly covered pan with a little water. Arrange the taters around the possum, strip with bacon, sprinkle with thyme or marjoram, or pepper, and brown in the oven. Baste often with the drippings.

6. If you allow them to lie in the road for enough time
especially in the summer, they make good pizzas (or frisbees)! :9

7. If you let the possum lay in the road long enough...
all you need is a straw!

I hunt everything I hunt with my Dodge Magnum!

open the hood; and toss 'em on top of the engine. By the time I get home, they're cooked up nice and tender.
