🥘 Option 2: Savory Possum Cake (Using Real Possum)

In some parts of the rural Southern U.S., opossum meat has been historically used in cooking. A “possum cake” could be a savory pie or loaf similar to a meat pie or terrine.

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt, pepper, and herbs to taste (thyme, sage, etc.)
• 2 eggs (1 for the mix, 1 for brushing)
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• Pre-made pie crust or biscuit dough

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Mix shredded possum meat with sautéed vegetables, seasoning, 1 beaten egg, and breadcrumbs.
3. Pack into a crust or form into patties.
4. Brush with egg wash and bake until golden brown and cooked through (30–40 mins).

Note: Be sure the meat is fully cooked and safe to eat. Always follow proper guidelines when preparing wild game.
