~Southern Possum Stew~

Possum
Dumplings
Sweet Potatoes
Onions
Salt

After hunting with a lantern in your hand all night, take the possum you have bagged and break it's neck by putting your foot on the possum's head and pulling up on his tail.

Use boiling water to scald Brother Possum. In a larger pan, dress the animal by pulling out those little hairs on him. When all is well done, cut Brother Possum into four parts. Add salt and boil the meat until tender. Make your dumplings and add them to the boiling meat.

After the possum has boiled about an hour, put the parts into a baking dish. Peel sweet potatoes and slice 'em thick. Place the slices in the pan around the pieces of possum. Add onions, if desired. Bake for one hour.

This is a Sunday dinner for 12 people with the dumplings.


~Baked Possum~

Put possum in a 55 gallon drum and feed for three weeks (vegtables, grains, etc). Shoot possum between the eyes (his brain is real small, but it's around there somewhere).

Scald in 140 degree water with hickory ashes and green pine needles. Scrape hair with mason jar lid. Rub down liberally with salt and pepper.

Place roasting rack in pan with one cup water and one cup wild turkey in the bottom of pan. Slow cook for 2 hours (medium possum) baste often. Remove top and brown for 15 minutes. Slice and serve on sweet potatoes.

Feeds one Hillbilly or 150-300 city folk.

You are joking Sandy

I can't buy Possum here and if I could I think
I would turn vegetarian NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also I haven't a pot big enough to feed that many.

So I don't think I will be trying this recipe even if I did say I would try
to do all recipes given.

But thanks for it anyway.

Okay, okay....here are a few more recipes more to your liking. I hope you are happy now.

~Quick Frozen Alaskan Polar Bear~

Cut a hole in ice large enough to fit bear. Sprinkle large peas around the edge of hole. While bear is taking a pea, kick him in the ice hole. Remove frozen bear. Garnish with ice worms. Serves 631.


~Bear Stew~

2 medium sized bears
Salt and Pepper
2 rabbits (optional)

Cut the bears into bite sized pieces. Add gravy to cover. Cook over kerosene fire at 460 degrees for about 2 weeks. This will serve 1013 people. If more are expected, the rabbits may be added. But do this only in case of emergency as most people do not like a hare in their stew.
