I prefer opossum on a cedar plank. Boil the opossum like you did and then place it on a cedar plank. No need to bone it out. Put it on the grill opposite side as the heat. Season it well with my seasoning and cook with low heat for an hour or so. There should a slight char to the plank. Once it is to that point, smother it with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce. Put it back on the grill for ten more minutes. Let it cool a little before you serve it. Now slide the opossum onto a platter and eat the plank. It’s the best recipe I know for opossum.
This episode really cracked me up. He said that the only thing wrong with cooking it was that it tastes like a possum. I'm like, well, what is a possum supposed to taste like after you are done cooking it? Then he went for the taste test with his fork hand shaking like a rattle snakes' tail when it's pissed off. To top it all off, he started ranting on about the Beverly Hillbillies and Granny's cooking. Dang, I wish that I was brought up country. This city life really sucks. You never know what you are eating nor how nutritious it really is when everything comes from the supermarket. Everything here in the big city is GMO and Bioengineered. Cheers to you partner. Very nice country style video.
Possum makes you strong - I had some when I was doing farm work - they didn't tell me what it was until after I ate it - wasn't great but it wasn't too bad either.
I don't know why people don't like opossum. I don't think it tastes bad at all. I trap for both raccoon and opossum and eat them both. I honestly think I like possum a little better than raccoon.
I never ate either one but I knew a guy from Virginia and he used to hunt and eat racoons he said it taste like roast beef ok fine , But possums ? just on their appearance alone I couldn't even in a dream bring myself to eat one they look like mutated rats
I remember my mom saying when she was young, they had to eat possum or anything else they could find, and she said the same thing, they were so greasy.
When I was a little kid an old man told me it didn't matter what you fed a possum, it would still taste like a possum when you cooked. Moral of the story: give your corn to the hogs and table scraps to the possum.
My grandparents were both born in 1899. So they were 29 30 years old during the depression and lived deep in the Missouri Ozarks . According to them possum is real good when you and the kids are all starving to death lol.
I cooked an opossum in a crock pot for 8 hrs on low last week with ripe cherry tomatoes and baby bella mushrooms and it was delicious, not even salt or pepper, just to taste it natural. I enjoyed the slight gamey and mineral like flavor, but yes alot more fat than I thought, which permeates the mush and toms nicely.
For the good of mankind hahaha. Folks ate possums down here to make it through the depression but as soon as things got better they stopped. That told me you only eat em if you have to lol😂👍🏻🇺🇸
As a few major side dishes with it, try you some 'Chittlin & Oyster' casserole, slices of limburger cheese , sliced cold souse meat (hog-head-cheese), and puddin.
Thanks for your racoon video. I cooked one today and it was good for me. You are a great man of god and remind me of my uncle Chuck. He a preacher and country man too. God bless you friend.
My recipe is to boil it with 3 cups beef broth, 3 cups water, 1 whole celery stalk, 1/3 cup salt, 1/4 cup pepper, 3 crushed garlic cloves, 1 tbsp cayenne pepper for 1 hour. Then broil in the oven weapped in foil with the broth. After that let it cool down for 15 mins then throw it in trash because eating opossum is beyond gross.
If you didn't remove all the gland tissue, it's not going to be good at all. That goes for both opossum and raccoon. If you do remove them, it's excellent.
I don't know about this particular one but I remember my father said he had a aunt who made some opossum when he was a boy but I distinctly remember him saying it was very greasy meat
@@tan.2209 The Lord has already spoken on this. Acts 10:11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. 13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat.
I've eaten them.... All the hell raising over something that ain't that bad... Now I never could get down to a Hoover hog... You know that's what they called armadillos in the 1930s... There's always something worse
I knew an old man that called swamp rabbits Hoover hogs. He said his brother could take one look at a rabbit's track and tell exactly how many dumplings it would make. Armadillos was called possum on the half shell.
💕💕JANUARY 6, 2022💕💕 “I AM ABLE to do far beyond all that you ask or image. Come to Me with positive expectations, knowing that there is no limit to what I can accomplish. Ask My Spirit to control your mind so that you can think great thoughts of Me. Do not be discouraged by the fact that many of your prayers are yet unanswered. Time is a trainer, teaching you to wait upon Me, to trust Me in the dark. The more extreme your circumstances, the more likely you are to see My Power and Glory at work in the situation. Instead of letting difficulties draw you into worrying, try to view them as setting the scene for My glorious intervention. Keep your eyes and your mind wide open to all that I am doing in your life.” (JESUS CALLING)
Possums have a lot more fat than ducks. They store fat much like a hog. A large outer layer under the skin with lots of marbling in between the muscles. Much like stips of bacon.
Preacher's Day Off I think im going to stick with delicious deer and turkeys, just out of curiosity have you ever tried coyote because ive heard of people trying it?
