Not totally off topic. Whenever I hear, "Cancun," it reminds me of
something I told my nephew a few years ago. I told him that if anyone
asks him when he gets back, "How was Cancun?" that he should reply,
"It's not quite as good as fresh coon, but I enjoyed it."

Cute. ;-)

Hurricanes are not off topic anyway.
Hurricane food and beverage prep are often a hot topic this time of year.

I've tried raccoon. Even marinated, braised and spiced it wasn't
anything I'd go out of my way to eat unless maybe I had kwashiorkor.

Nevertheless, just about anything would probably be better than possum.
A gal I knew grew up in the Ozarks. Meat wasn't on the table every
day and what there was was usually shot or trapped locally. She and her
sibs grew up knowing what body hunger felt like - hunger that goes
beyond the belly. And even so she'd pass on possum unless somebody
caught one live and they could pen it up and feed it clean food for a
week or so.

I wouldn't really eat coon or possum, and I agree that "just about
anything would probably be better than possum." Those things are so
incredibly nasty. They stink almost as badly as the stuff they eat.
I was just making a (perhaps) not so funny joke about my Ozark roots.
