Destry: Marsh Williams used to say that when a possum fell into the mash the resulting semi-clear product had a distinctive taste all it's own. He set it aside for his Northern customers and named it (what else) "Ol Possum"

Bill, I bought a 1 frame stock that I was hoping would fit on a 0 frame, either a 20 or 16 gauge. It wasn't close enough to even try it on those, but it did fit quite well on a 1 1/2 frame 12 that had a poor replacement stock. Good luck with it, I hope you have better luck with the 0 frame than I did.

Roger,
What day and time for dinner? Just let me know! George, Don't take it too hard, we eat possums even in the far northern reaches of Southern Illinois. Me and Droge had a nice young coon at Thanksgiving time just a couple years ago. Destry

Destry: Those are yankee possums. Their ancestors were displace during the War of Northern Aggression and don't carry the same flavor as their Souther kin. As for coon, I know of no one North or South who still eats coon, especially since Davy Crockett just passed away. I guess, some folks will eat anything if they're hungry enough.
Just My Humble Opinion.......George |

George,
I've eaten them both south of "The Line" and couldn't tell a bit of difference. My people were (and still are) just poor white trash and would eat about anything that kept body and soul together. I'm not decended from the Lees or Washingtons, just regular home folks. DLH

Destry: As it happens I am descended from the Lee's and the Washington's through the Randolph lineage. I have never eaten either possum or coon (that I know of) but when you go into some of the barbeque houses down South you never really know what you're eating. I just have gall bladder removal surgery so I may have to cut out the barbeque entirely! Sad, what else is there to live for?
Best Regards, George |

George;
Prior to gall bladder removal I could not eat beans of any kind, after I was able to resume the bean diet but no uncooked onions to this day (9yrs hence). The gall bladder thing is a mystery. Luckly it did not interfer with my taste for FG Rog |
