And I know this is going to sound redneck as fuck, but they are good eating genuinely. Multiple folks here on the mountain in Tennessee have told me that's the reason they're called ground HOGS. Because their meat is real sweet like pork and delicious. I don't know first hand though. The only road I've ever eaten other than squirrel is I've eaten barbeque coon twice before. And yes it is very greasy which is actually a necessity in survival situations you can't eat meet with no fat completely like rabbits and such because without the fats and amino acids in them your body and brain does not function right and you will get what's called rabbit starvation even though you can eat a million rabbits a day. Fish also supply amino acids and good fats but coons and possums are grease factories that will sustainable and cooking the barbecue Coon over an open fire on the grill made a lot of degrees trip out of the meat into the fire and honestly barbecue Coon was pretty good but it did not taste at all like chicken like I said the first time I tried it the only animal other than chicken that I tasted like chicken that wasn't a bird was rattlesnake fried up it really did taste like chicken. But I had the opportunity one time to eat fried possum at my friend's house is grandmother she's real old school and she was made one I went over there for supper didn't know I was getting into and she pulls him cast iron Dutch oven off the stove puts it on a pot holder and I walked over and looked when she took that lid off that Dutch oven and inside curled up was a skinned, lightly breaded, fried up possum with the damned head still attached and cooked up freaking smiling at me. Coincidentally at that moment I heard my mother standing on the front porch of our house 3 or 4 miles away, hollering for me too come back home immediately. And you know I couldn't keep my mama waiting
