Ingredients
Instructions
- Try to get a possum that has been dead no longer than 3 days and doesn't have any tire marks on his back.
- Add the possum to a pot of boiling water, along with the red pepper pods, salt, and butter. Cook for 3 to 6 hours.
- If the possum isn't tender, you'll know you got an old one.
- Combine the milk and flour.
- Add small quantities of the milk and flour mixture to the possum and broth.
- Stir constantly to prevent sticking to the pot.
- If the possum sticks to the pot, pry him off.
- Pull his tail; that usually works best.
- Bon appetit!
