Of course one should catch and pen up a possum for a couple of weeks or so before you feast upon possum 'n sweet taters. Remember they are scavengers so you need to “feed 'em out.” Cornbread works well and fattens up your soon to be Sunday dinner quite well.

I need my own Food Network show. 😃

Please tell me that you know how to whack a possum.
