Venerable Freeper Humblegunner and I used to enjoy his old family recipe for Thanksgiving possum.
I remember watching the steam rise off the snowy windows on those cold November nights back in the day when it was just us, a laptop, and the fine possum odors wafting from his kitchen oven.
Take a two-by four, preferably not pressure treated, but it really doesn’t matter. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
Take four or five galvanized nails and nail the possum to the two by four. Do not skin or gut the possum. Do not oil or grease the two by four. Some people like to shave the possum. This is a matter of personal choice.
Cook possum on center rack for six hours. Do not baste. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes
Scrape the possum off, remove the nails, and eat the two by four.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Too funny. Reminds me of Alton Brown’s recipe for haggis
