"Do they keep eating possum till they cain't eat no more"

It depends on what the line rhymes with, wwh.

The lyricist may have put his professional predilections ahead of his culinary predilections.

In any case, there is no accounting for some people's taste in food.

I've heard of people who travel miles to hunt and eat blackbirds ... which they consider a delicacy.

Given a choice, I think I would take the possum.

But I would rather see a possum play dead than see one dead on my plate (roasted, grilled or baked).
