Skeeter, go ahead and pass on the 'possum. It's awful. Like eating rancid lard.
Rattlesnake, however, is darn fine eatin'. Like good fried fish, without the fishy taste.
My all-time good eating (weird) things include:
Monkey noodle soup (had it twice a week in 'Nam)
Rocky Mountain oysters.
Real oysters (It's been said the first guy to try one of them raw was the bravest man to ever live - or the hungriest!)
Scrambled brains and eggs. Really.
Wild boar.
Fish heads and rice (Nam again)
My #1 favorite specialty meal, though, is cabrito - mesquite cooked baby goat. Oh my God, that's good.
