Yep, I like to cook. I used to enjoy cooking for my brother firefighters here at the fire station. Now, with the desk job I don't do that anymore. I still like to cook at the house for the family. My specialty: Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas.

Erv, you're talking about everyday fare. Road kill specials. Farris is talking about Holidays and special occasions like birthdays, weddings, and wakes.

All that from someone that spent 1969-70 and most of 71 in your beautiful city of Duluth. I loved the summer there, both days.

Ferris , the only way to celebrate a holiday is to filet a brac of possums and bb-q spme , roast some , fry some, and best of all make possum dumplings and serve with skunk cabbage, and spike stump warer with LITNIN, and talk about your dead reletaves that you didn' like, now you have a reason to be thankfull...... jennings

You can't cook steelers.

They turn out stringy...

"RoadKill Sea Food"

One slow, half blind Coyote, a drunk armadillo who can't tell he's above ground, and you have:

Yup you've got it "TAMALE ON THE WHOLESHELL"

What does pussum (opossum, actually) taste like? We have plenty of them here in suburbia. One of God's slowest and most unskittish critters. Couldn't run fast if an H-bomb went off behind 'em. Don't know if it's legal to bag 'em and cook 'em or not.

(As if I actually would.)

Bill, speaking from experience, thay are a greasy nasty mess, fried, boiled,baked or any way you want. Now I know the folks are getting ready to flame my tail section. In short though I HATE IT!!

Sumbody tells you it taste like chicken you can damn well bet the farm they've never visited the Colonel.

POSSUM TASTES BETTER THAN ANY CHUCKEN YOU HAVE EVER EAT.....YOU CAN OREOARE IT ANY WAY YOU WANT OR CAN THINK OF,, YOU CAN EVEN OICKLE IT LIKE PIG FEET AND PIG EARS..DURING THE DEPRESSION, WHEN FOOD WAS SCARACE AND HARD TO OBTAIN, THE MOST COMMON WAY WAS TO BAKE THE POSSUM WITH SWEET POTATOES OR YAMS. EASLY PREPARED, DIDN'T TAKE A LOT OF PREPERATION , AND YOU COULD FEED A LARGE FAMILY ON ONE POSSUM AND SWEET TATERS...IN SOME PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, THEY ALMOST BECAME EXTENCT, DUE TO THE DEPRESSION. YOU MAY LAUGH , BUT SKUNK CABBAGE AND POSSUM ARE GOOD FOOD, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU HAVENT EATEN IN SEVERAL DAYS AND THERE ARE NO OUTHER PLACES TO FORAGE FROM..DO YOU GET MY DRIFT.. I HOPE SO.... DONT KNOCK OT UNTIL YOU HAVE TRIED IT.... JENNINGS,,,,,,

Farris,
you wanted to know who can cook. I'm the sous-chef at one of the finer restaurants in Nashville. You'd be amazed at how many musicians or sons/daughters of famous musicians I've met since working in Nashville kitchens,

I finally decided I don't like chicken after trying to eat the old rooster my wife killed after the neighbors bitched. All they are is Possums with wings.

God minimalised their charm so they'd be easier to eat.

My specialty is Sho~Bud Casserole.

1 box Macaroni and cheeze.

1 can Tuna in OIL.

1 can green beans.

Heat over coleman, open fire or an actual stove if one is available. Boil noodles and drain. Coffee cans seem to work the best.

Strain the Oil out of the tuna into the noodles, and add cheese, Stir in tuna and green beans cold. Salt to taste. Pepper if available. Eat immediately.

Cost: About a buck fifty.

Feeds one and a dog.

It has all the food groups. Green, Brown, and Yellow. You can live on it for years on end.

Like I did...

Now that I'm living high on the hog, I use real butter, albacore, add jalapeno jack slices, and use french cut beans, stone ground pepper and worchester sauce. The expensive stuff. Oh and I use the Kraft™ boxes.

Nothing but the best.

Damn, I'm getting hungry..
