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 similar category.) Of course, if you really need the meat for your family, that's a whole 'nother story. Mothman Possum Stew
1 possum, cut-up 1/2 cup oil 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 medium onion, sliced 4 carrots, cut in thick slices 8 ounces tomato juice 1/4 cup white vinegar 10 drops Tabasco salt and pepper to taste 5 medium potatoes, peeled and sliced
Brown possum in oil in a dutch oven or heavy skillet. Add all ingredients except potatoes. Cover and simmer for 1 hour. Add potatoes. Simmer another 30 minutes. Roasted Sassafras Possum
1 skinned and dressed possum cut-up 3 cups sliced carrots 6 cups onions, quartered 6 cups potatoes, quartered 1 clove garlic minced 1 can cream of mushroom soup 1 cup flour 2 tablespoons Worchestershire sauce 3 cups water salt and pepper
Note: Ramps can be substituted for onions.
Place the cut up possum and vegetables in a ovenproof iron pot. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours (depending on size of possum).
Please note there is no sassafras in the recipe; it gets its name because in Sassafras, Mason County this is considered an ethnic food.
