Possum is generally considered a pest in most places. However, they are
edible and not too bad if that's all that's available. Granny used to
cook them - parboiled first with ramps and a little vinegar; then, she'd
put them in a roaster with sweet potatoes, more ramps, and whatever
seasonings she had on hand. Tasted ok the way she made them but not
something I'd cook.
