Annual Thanksgiving possum recipe

In an ever changing world, this blog respects tradition. Specifically, it respects its own traditions, which includes publishing a possum recipe on Thanksgiving.

(Note: I do not personally eat possums nor do I think you should, so this is for informational purposes only. But still...)

So here, for your dining and possum-eating pleasure, is a great website with not only possum recipes but also musings on the whole hillbilly/possum thing. Click here and enjoy!\

p.s. Since we are vacationing in Florida at this moment, be sure to add shrimp to each recipe.

Annual Thanksgiving Possum Recipe

It's Thanksgiving once again and that means one thing here at Goat Rope: it's time for the Annual Thanksgiving Possum Recipe.

I found one on the web that seems particularly interesting, to wit, Cajun possum chili, which is said to be NUCLEAR HOT!!

(I couldn't vouch for the truth of this since I don't eat possum, but that does sound plausible. Here's the recipe (and if you click here you can find two others at the same site). Enjoy!

Cajun Possum Chili - NUCLEAR HOT !!!

Ingredients:
Tomatoe Sauce (depends on possum)
1 tsp.-1 cup Chili Powder (Depends on Taste and possum)
1 Large possum or 3 small (If you ran over the possum better make it 4)
1 large pot or two large ones if the first isn't enough.
5-10 chili peppers (depends on taste and possum)
5-10 red peppers (depends on taste and possum)
5-10 jalapenio peppers (depends on taste and possum)
How ever much Cayenne Pepper you like, it depends on your taste and possum.
1 tsp. Black Pepper
a pinch of salt
Chili Beans for extra flavor
And whatever other ingredients that are hot and spicy you would like to add.

Directions:
1. Skin possum(s)
2. Remove internal organs, head, claws, and bones. There is no flavor or use for these. But if you want to add them, Go ahead.
3. Put some tomatoe sauce in the pot(s). Then add the possum.
4. Chop peppers
5. Skip step four if you don't want chopped peppers; it doesn't matter.
6. Put the rest in and let set for a long dang while.
7. Before serving make sure you have enough bread, Milk, and Toliet paper for after dinner.
8. Serve. Enjoy
9. Race for bathroom. Whoever is first will make a large stench. Have enough air freshner.
Serving size of Meal-depends on how much you put in and on the possum.

Warning-You're a redneck if you try this. (Either that or you like really hot chili.) May cause sudden urges to go to the bathroom. May cause burned tongues and mouths. May cause severe indigestion!! ---Anonymous

  

Another beloved Thanksgiving tradition: the annual possum recipe

Thanksgiving is all about tradition and so are we here at Goat Rope. Each year at this holiday, we make it a practice to publish a possum recipe for readers whom we know to be avidly in search of one. And for anyone else who stumbles on the site.

(Disclaimer and disclosure: none of us here at Goat Rope have actually eaten possum at any time nor do we necessarily recommend that you do. But traditions are traditions and we've been doing this for the last 9 years.)

This year, in an effort to be health conscious, we feature a lighter selection, to wit a possum soup recipe we found by way of Google.

Enjoy and happy Thanksgiving!

Annual Thanksgiving possum recipe...with a bonus

It has been the custom at Goat Rope from time immemorial, or at least the last 8 years or so, to post a link to a possum recipe every Thanksgiving.

(For the record, I have never eaten a possum nor do I have intentions of doing so, but traditions are traditions.)

Here's one for this year.

And here's a bonus. At this moment, I happen to be in Florida. So, in the spirit of when in Rome, here's a link to alligator recipes.

(Also for the record, I have never eaten an alligator nor do I have intentions of doing so, but I think I'd rather eat one of them than a possum. Just saying.)

Happy Thanksgiving!

Annual Thanksgiving Possum Recipe

It is a custom hallowed by time at this blog to feature a possum recipe each Thanksgiving for the dining pleasure of our Gentle Readers. In fact, said readers are welcome to El Cabrero's lifetime share of possum as my culinary tastes run in other directions.

This year, in recognition of the ever-hastening pace of modern life, I have decided instead to offer a simpler approach that may save a bit of time in the kitchen. Just open and warm up, unless you are one of those hardy souls that likes their possum cold.

Enjoy! And Happy Thanksgiving!
