From eating pine nuts? Wow. That will ruin your dinner. Which wine pairs well with pennies?
If not, you can buy it here...but pricy. Back when I was a kid and trapping, we got about $1 for a possum.

No thanks. I hit enough of em on highways. I’ve ate groundhog which is good; but never a possum
Not a significant risk for humans
Opossums can carry a number of [other] infectious diseases including, leptospirosis, tuberculosis, relapsing fever, tularemia, spotted fever, toxoplasmosis, coccidiosis, and Chagas disease.

Back in the late 70's and early 80's, the town where I lived at the time, had an Izzak Walton wild game feed every year. All sorts of wild game served. I would normally get a taste of each, then go back for my favorites.
Had my one and only beaver. Who ever cooked it, knew what they were doing. Got more of that for sure! Personally, I have never eaten possum. Just found that website yesterday and wanted to share! Worst meat I ate there was bear. But that may have been how it was cooked.

Stays with a fella. Nearly a month. Weird!!
The taste of bear also depends on what it's been eating. We had a friend from Alaska that served us yummy bear enchiladas. He told a story about a black bear that he'd shot that had been eating wild skunk cabbage. Even his dogs wouldn't touch it.
I don't think Possum is Kosher.
Bear-deer sausage is very tasty.
Never had possum. We used to fish a lot, Tuna, Blues, Mako Shark... One time, my dad caught a good sized Hammerhead. We tried cooking it. It was absolutely awful.
I sat down to a dinner of Racoon at my cousins once. One bit was enough of the black greasy meat was all I wanted-EVER,
Was it burled in vinegar?

Not knowingly.
We had a guy in our group when I was stationed in Connecticut (US Navy.) He was from West Virginia. Not sure what town as it was too far in the sticks to get a name I think.
He used to bring in a crock pot of "mystery meat" every Friday. You learned quick not to touch it.......

Did you soak the shark meat in milk?

It was so long ago I don't remember but we used to do it with Mako and Tuna so probably. I remember the hammerhead meat was pink. Didn't look like mako meat at all. Certainly didn't taste like it.
I have not had shark but sharks almost had me. The local fishermen drain all the blood from the shark, then soak the meat in milk for many hours to reduce the stench of ammonia. I see mostly threshers being caught. Some dogfish.
