unless pigs were loose in the area. Pigs will eat the most

Ever seen what a 'possum will eat?

Hey!...I've eaten possum. Let's not work backwards on the food chain to see what were ingesting. We may all become Vegans overnight.

Possums will eat just about anything. Still, I like possums (I'm from Tennessee) -- they're kewl animals, and they're "nature's little sanitary engineers."

There are no possums in former Yugoslavia, but there were lots of loose pigs after the war... so saw lots of what pigs will do, but no first-hand experience with possums in such a situation. I couldn't eat pork for a year after that. I could tell stories, but won't.
