AUSTRALIAN POSSUM
1 possum ..... 5 tbs balsamic vinegar ..... 5 onions ..... 2 cloves garlic ..... 5 carrots ..... 1 stalk celery ..... 2 turnips  ..... 3 tomatoes  ..... 2 tbs cold pressed olive oil  ..... 1 clump italian parsley 

1 tbs fresh rosemary .... 5 bay leaves  ..... 3 cloves 2 tbs Vegemite  ....1 damper (like a hot dog roll) 

Note: Possums are a protected species in Australia. They cannot be trapped, shot or hunted. If you run over an Australian possum, and it is still alive, call WIRES, which protects Australia's native fauna. ... If it's dead, then this recipe may serve a purpose. ALSO, In Launceston there is a LEGAL possum meat supplier ... CLICK HERE ...First, skin the possum, checking first for lice, myxomitosis, and living young in the pouch. .... Separate legs from breast. Discard head, neck, tail and claws. If you wish, hold the offal for thanksgiving stuffing. 

Then cut the possum into long stringy pieces. ... Marinate overnight in vinegar, rosemary, bay leaf, clove, garlic & oil mixture.  ... Make the roll: split the damper, and spread vegemite on each side. Put aside. ... Chop the carrot, turnip and tomato into small pieces, then cook with the rest of the ingredients, and stew in a pot, adding a chicken stock cube for seasoning.  Dip the possum pieces in the pot, then barbecue for 20 minutes (or until cooked to personal taste). 

 To serve: like a hot dog, use the damper & vegemite roll to surround pieces of possum. ...Serve with chips, salad and beer.
