The point of using opossum is to point out that people will eat whats available. Asians typically eat things not consumed in the West. Just as people in the west eat things they wouldn’t think of in Asia.
After WWII South Korea was decimated and there was very little food. There weren’t any cows and few pigs for people to eat. What did exist was far too expensive.
I’m sure the people of North Korea would love to have a fido or two.

This is why I LOVE Free Republic! Where else can one go to have a rousing opossum vs. dog debate full of insults, passion and cultural defensiveness? I’m waiting for you guys to start trading recipes and arguing about that.
Can anyone out there who has eaten both tell me which tastes better?
