Possum Pate - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 dead possum (road kill is fine)
2 or 3 pods red pepper
salt to taste
butter
2 c. flour
1 to 2 qt. milk

Preparation

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