Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

this was surprisingly good left out the whisky
I love old-timey recipes like this one. My only objection would be to see a whole quart of beer wasted in this fashion. I know people cook with it all the time, but I like drinking it too much to use a whole quart on a recipe! Cheers!

Thanks for good serious recipes , Just remember possum can be prepared like any good fatty pork roast, same seasons. Young possum must be live trapped caged and fed on a grain/cornbread etc. for a few weeks until fat. Save grease from baking to flavor like you would pork grease,'ala' possum grits,biscuits,cornbread. thanks again.
Do people actually eat possum?
