Possum Pate

Directions

1. 1
   Try to get a possum that has been dead no longer than 3 days and doesn't have any tire marks on his back.
2. 2
   Add that rascal to a pot of boiling water, along with the pepper pods, salt and butter. Cook him 3 to 6 hours.
3. 3
   If he ain't tender, you'll know you got an old possum.
4. 4
   Combine the milk and flour.
5. 5
   Add small quantities of the mixture to the possum and broth.
6. 6
   Remember to stir constantly, so he won't cling to the pot.
7. 7
   If he sticks to the pot, pry him off.
8. 8
   Pull his tail; that usually works best.
9. 9
   Bon appetit!
