What store did you find it? I would just like straight Possum. Don't see Carp in the Store anymore

I know my Grandpa always said Possum is much better than Coon and I tend to agree but either is Tasty.

Just the pic of the possum would be enough to put me off, if'n it was a real product. Look like giant rats with extra sharp teeth!

I guess it is what you are use to. We always ate coon, but I have never tasted possum. I trapped and hunted. Skinned lots of coons and possums. The possums didn't look all that appetizing to me.

But, in a pinch, I would eat one.

I sometimes tweet a photo of that can on Twitter. I claim that it is the reason that I prep. I'd hate to be desperate enough to eat creamed possum!

No thanks. While out riding one day when I was a teenager, my otherwise steady horse shied at a dead cow. He wasn't so upset at the cow as the possum crawling from where its innards had been. I know there's a place for the "garbage men" of the environment but I'm with Martian Chick. I don't eat wild catfish either or lobster or crab...don't want to get within 50' of a buzzard.

Couple Possum Stories.

One night me and my Brother was hunting. We had a Possum, always just broke their Neck. Well I thought I had broke this ones Neck. Put it in a Burlap Feed Sack.

My Brother was carrying it slung over his Shoulder. All of a sudden he is hollering, throws the Bag on the ground. Seems the Possum had came back to life and was biting him on the Back.

Use to be Possums and Skunks brought .25 apiece. We would ride on Fenders of the Pickup through the Fields. Have a stick of Wood. See a Possum or Skunk, run up on it with the Pickup, jump off, hit it in the Head. Sprayed, yes we got Sprayed but it was worth .25

One time me and my Ex went to my Grandparents House for Christmas Dinner. Grandma had Baked up a bunch of Possums and Coons. My ex walks by the Table made a face

What's wrong Dear you like Possum and Coon? Yea but I'm not use to having them grin back at me. Grandma had cooked them up with the Heads on so we could have the Brains.

Those Wild Cats are better eating then those farmed ones any day, and I'll take all the Lobster,Crab and Shrimp as well.
Along with those lowest of the low the filtration feeders Oysters and Clams!

Opossum and Coon well I'm gonna need to be a little hungry.

Had Carp and Ground Hog as well. Not bad on either account.

At least one of them kind of on the Taboo list.

I know Coon your suppose to remove as much fat as possible and par boil it then bake.

Kind of assume it tastes something like bear.

Opossum no Idea on proper prep, I got one thats going to die soon as I can catch, it someone wants it let me know!

Seems we always cook Possum, Coon and Groundhog. Parboil, Bake in oven, season Salt, Pepper and Sage.

I can't believe that you are promoting something as bad for you as creamed possum. The way to go is with possum health food that's good for you.

Gotta get rid of that possum grease , that's why I like the coon fat .

Around here the turkey vultures and hawks can be seen eating squirrels, raccoons, skunks, etc. But a possum will stay on the road until it has gone the way of the maggot. My thought is how bad can a possum taste that critters would prefer skunk?

My DH has a funny story of being at his buddy's house and they see a possum. Buddy kills possum and throws it in the pile of brush he is burning. Possum comes back to life and runs flaming under one of his buildings. Old men can move pretty fast when necessary. No buildings were injured in the telling of this story, just one possum.
