How To Catch And Cook A Possum

I’m not sure why but there’s just something funny about possums to non-hillbillies. Would you laugh about a Crock-pot Beef Recipe? or a recipe for Lobster Thermidor? But when it comes to great meals like Crock-pot Possum or a Possum Stew some people find something humorous about it.

Take your left over Cream of Wheat, or cook some up just to try this recipe, you will like it. This is very similar to the fried mush that restaurants like Bob Evan’s and Cracker Barrel serve and just as good.
