POSSUMdays for WORLD SILLYweek 2015

Here is something REALLYsilly, in Tasmania POSSUMS ARE PESTS mostly because we do not eat them. They get into roofs and pee in ceilings, they eat people's fruit and trash the trees etc. etc. etc. However, for Tasmania's Aboriginal people, possum (timita palawa-kani) was a CULTURALfood and the fur figured in cultural life.

From mTasmania, POSSUMmeat is EXPORTED to China where they are a delicacy BUT Tasmanians show their silliness by NOT EATING POSSUM ... generally. It's not like there is no information available relative to cooking possum and its not like possum is not good to eat ... IT IS!

Some people think possums are sweet cuddly little things and too nice to eat. Well, try picking one up for a cuddle and you may well change your mind.

Anyway WORLD SILLYweek on TAMAR aims to put all this to right and cure one or two POSSUMvirgins of their wayward ways. Indeed Pierre's  88 George St. Launceston is looking at how they can help out. Check out Pierre's here http://www.pierres.net.au/ OR here  https://www.facebook.com/PierresBrasserie
