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.

Ack!

Thanks for the offer, but I . . . uh . . . don't feel worthy enough to accept your gracious . . . er . . . gift of recipes for possum. That's it--I'm just not worthy. hahaha

The sweet potatoes/yams recipe is fine. But, they're yummy cooked just like they are, without any doctoring up.

Grunion . . . never heard of it. Since the Clampets were from the mountains (Ozarks?) of Arkansas, and I'm not very familiar with that area, maybe that's the reason.

Frog legs are fine--just not enough meat for the amount of trouble, on the ones that I've eaten before. Crayfish/crawfish are delish. Had a couple of pounds of them at a good restaurant in south Louisiana when I was passing through there a few months back. Beef tips, sans the gopher gravy is fine, too. I'll pass on the rest, except for maybe the goat and rabbit.

I've got to tell Mobilereaders about "pot passers," if they're not familiar with the Beverly Hillbillies. The Clampets moved into the mansion; the mansion was pre-furnished with a pool table. The Clampets, of course, didn't know what it was for, but they used it as a table to eat at. They decided that the pool sticks were for passing the pots of "vittles" (food) around, so Jed notched the sticks to hold the handles of the pots while they were being passed around. Funny stuff. Why can't they make shows like that anymore? Oh, the show was canceled by CBS, the network on which it was shown, because the suits at the network didn't like the fact that it had come to be known as the "Country Broadcasting Network" due to this show, Green Acres, Petticoat Junction, and others being in the network's show lineup at the same time. A case where a corporation definitely wasn't putting profits first!

Ignore the word "superfood" in the title (most of the books about superfoods that I run across seem like "junk") and it seems like you've just got a great cookbook for what, in my humble opinion, is a really tasty vegetable(?).

The photos in the book may be stock photos, but they're really nice! Make me look forward to fall.

The Everyday Squash Cook: The Most Versatile & Affordable Superfood. By Rob Firing; Ivy Knight & 1 more. Rated 4.5, but from only 2 reviews, at Amazon at the present moment; rated 4.8, but from only 5 ratings, at GoodReads. Print list price $22.99; digital list price $11.99; Kindle price now $1.99. HarperCollins, publisher. 224 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Squas...able+Superfood.

Book Description
Pumpkin seeds are loaded with zinc, magnesium, vitamin E and healthy oils.

One medium-sized zucchini has as much potassium as an average banana, and more than a cup of fat-free milk.

Cucurbitacins, found in many types of squash, are powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatories. There is promising research, too, supporting their anticancer properties.

Canned pumpkin has more than 750% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin A in less than one cup, more than nearly any other natural food.

Pumpkin, butternut, acorn, pattypan, zucchini, kabocha, hubbard, spaghetti—the variety of squashes is only surpassed by the number of ways you can enjoy their taste and nutritional benefits. Forget the mushy side dish you may be accustomed to eating at holiday dinners. You can make delicious sundae toppings, pancakes, muffins, breads, soups, dips, risotto, burgers, casseroles—and an incredibly easy butternut “bacon” that you’ll want to eat every day.

Featuring more than 100 recipes from morning to night, The Everyday Squash Cook also includes tips on handling, cutting and storing squash and a handy visual guide to the most common varieties.

I don't much care for venison, and I don't have a source for it right now. But I bought the book, anyway, thinking that I could substitute cuts of beef for the venison. Will it work out okay? I dunno. I'll probably search the Web to see what experience that other people have had doing that.

Quick answer is yes.
Longer answer is it works better with the same cuts.
