ALternative
 

POSSUM A LA BOARD

1 large possum
1 oak board
12 cloves garlic (to kill smell)
4 onions (in case garlic doesn't work)
200g meat tenderizer (if he has dodged enough cars to become "large", he'll be tough)
100g bread crumbs (to catch all possum grease)

Place oak board on table. Put bread crumbs on it and place possum in middle of bread crumbs. (No butter, it's greasy enough)Do not preheat oven. You want to delay the smell as long as possible.
Cook 1 1/2 hours at 200 degrees c - longer if extra large possum. Take out of oven. Place in zip-loc bag. Place in garbage can and eat the oak board. It will be better than the possum.

Possums in Australia

Delightful! noisy buggers when they decide to live in the roof of your house but I would not object to one in the shed....mind you in New Zealand it would not have lasted long in the shed either because there they are a noxious pest and were treated as such.

Cheers

Re: Re: New Arrival
 

Here in Ontario, Canada, possums are treated the same as groundhogs...i.e. fair game for knocking 'em off.

How the hell they migrated this far north is a mystery.

Ho hum... shoot and shovel.
