People outside of the United States might not understand what hillbillies are or the whole premise of the Beverly Hillbillies show, but maybe the cookbook would help thin the population of your possums.
Living in the deep South (southeastern U.S.) most of my life, I'm sure that I've known people who have eaten possums. I wouldn't do it, myself. Of course, I may have been served some in somebody's house somewhere and been told that it was "chicken."

I just looked at the cookbook. I can give you a Possum Dip, A Tennessee Possum Soup and Pot Passer Possum and Sweet Taters.
For those not in the south, sweet taters are sweet potatoes or yams.
Also in the cookbook are Frog legs, Crayfish, Grunion, Goat, Rabbit, Deer, Wild Boar Tongue and even a Groundhog. Here is one other one for you. Stock Market Beef Tips with Hot Gopher Gravy.
Note: most of the cookbook is actually great sounding home style southern recipes.
If you would like I can check my "road kill" cookbooks for your stuffed possum.
Oh hi, I guess I should introduce myself, I am Cindy and I started collecting cookbooks in 1991. The count is roughly 1500 total. Not including the 100 or so gourmet type cookbooks I gave my brother.
