possum pie and greens? No. Bacon and Sausage from the pigs they raised. That was breakfast with eggs from their chickens and home made biscuits. Milk and butter from the cows — they had a small dairy herd and sold milk to one of the big dairies. The best berry and grape jellies from the wild bushes and vines.
Lunch was burgers taters and maters and sometimes corn and strawberries for dessert - all from the garden.
Supper was Waffles, pancakes, maybe oat meal. Although usually Sausage and Oatmeal with biscuits was big on the breakfast menu too. Sometimes fish with fried taters. And of course the wonderful milk.
Snacks were homemade bread and homemade butter and sorghum molasses with a big glass of unpasteurized whole milk. It did taste a little green in the early spring.
Now Hubby’s family was big on the greens—members of the Choctaw Tribe, but even they didn’t eat possum.
“..And of course the wonderful milk.”
(Never could stand the moo juice. Always had to hold my nose to get it down, and never drank a drop again after leaving my parents’ home.)
