I will never forget nor forgive how Southie ticks invaded this area about 20 years ago.

Yep ticks went north for new hunting grounds realized it was a crazy silly place decided nope and moved back south, bringing that ugly Lyme with them lol...

Lutefisk starts as cod, traditionally caught in the cold waters off Norway. It's then dried to the point that it attains the feel of leather and the firmness of corrugated cardboard. Water alone can't reconstitute the fish, so it's soaked in lye.

That’s just the rumor. The lie is added to detect Southies, for some unknown reason Southies cannot eat lye.

Are all ya’ll Southies wanting you restart the civil war?

I can’t think of any other reason all ya’ll are sending your possums north to invade us.

I lived my first 50 years without seeing a possum, now I see one every few years. This has to stop. If it does not expect to be invaded by noseeums, mosquitoes, deer flies, horse flies, wolverines and pine martens.

Now that all ya’ll understand how dangerous it is to Keep sending us possums, I think all ya’ll deserve a little contest,

So post your bestest possum recipes. Include how you scrape them off the highway and what parts you do and don’t eat.

Us Northerners really want to just know more about your strange primitive ways.

Now bless your little hearts and post away.

Don’t eat possum myself....I would guess it tastes like garbage (you know that whole saying, “you are what you eat”). However, I’m sure there are all sorts of possibilities, such as:

Also, if you’re interested in eating other southie vermin, here are some other options:
