Step aside Chef Boyardee, and try my possum stew. Trap your own, roadkill is not as good, break his neck by putting your foot on the possum's head and pulling up on his tail. Use boiling water to scald in a large pan, cut it into four parts. Add salt and boil the meat until tender. Make dumplings and add them slowly to the boiling meat. After the possum has boiled about an hour, put the parts into a baking dish. Peel sweet potatoes and slice them thick. Place the slices in the pan around the pieces of possum. Add onions if desired. Bake for 1 hour. This is a Sunday dinner for 12 people with the dumplings and well under $10.
