Thread: How to prepare and eat possum?

My ol'mate of many years ago as a possum trapper used to collect the fat scrapings from his skins and put them in a sock which was nailed close to the fire in his hut, under the sock he had a baked bean can to catch the fat as it dripped through...he used this fat for all his cooking...I can tell you that eggs cooked in possum fat have a flavour of their own....he may well have cooked possum, but if he did he never talked bout it.
