When preparing fresh road kill opossum do you leave the tire marks on?

Well I sure am disappointed in all you people that say to leave the tire marks on. You have to remove the tire tracks to get the gravel out! Now the tire tracks will show real nice on the hat your gonna make from the skin ain't it? I think that's all ya need to show ya got yourself a fresh kill. If your kin don't trust ya to serve up fresh food then they don't deserve to get an invite to dinner.


(By the way I hope the critter wern't badly disfigured, it takes away from the look of the hat.)When preparing fresh road kill opossum do you leave the tire marks on?
No, that is why you use a grill with treadmark patterns on it.When preparing fresh road kill opossum do you leave the tire marks on?
for presentation purposes of course,make sure you show the marks up on the plate.this will really impress your cousin,and with a bit of luck you two can have a really GOOD YEAR!


does she/he have a purdy mouth!?
I find that is the best way to bring out the flavor!!!
Heck no, you still clean the varmit just like you caught it in a trap or shot it
Sure my cousin twice removed named Bubba always left the tire marks on. He was shorely proud of his road kill.. One week he found 3 rabbits, 2 coons, and 3 opossums on the side of road. He and his family ate good that week.
what did your mom sister say opie
Absolutely! I always do so to prove that it's fresh road kill. Also, it can look like you have a grill and fool everyone. Since you're obviously a man of good taste and gourmet flair, I would also suround the opossum with little sauted rats, mice, rabbits (only babies), squirrels, etc.





Pay close attention to what you serve as side dishes. I like roasted cockroaches...mmm mmm good!





Dessert? Always a must! Jello with floating flies.





This being holiday time and all, I'm sure you want to be the best you can be and show 'em all up. I'm sure Aunt Effie Bell, cousin Mort, brothers Bubba and Herbie, Grandma Gert and the whole gang just who really is the KING of Gourmet Cooking! Oh no, I almost forgot little sis (course she's 70 something and who's gonna pick her up?). Now there's something to consider. Plan, my friend. No one should be left out....


Bon Apetite!
If it's a high quality domestic tire, you should leave the marks there. You want to show that the possum is fresh, not some imported thing that's been frozen or salted or preserved somehow. If the tire was some offbrand import, people will think you're too lazy to get off the porch and walk the roads for your own possum, and you had to mail-order one. These always take forever to show up, what with shipping from Elbonia and such. Plus, they stink up the store room at the back of the post office, and you know you don't want Elmer the mailman going postal on you again. He just got parole, after all...





Show your guests you care - serve fresh possum for Christmas!
