Opossum Recipes

A friend in the book-publishing industry was dining at our house last week
and rhapsodizing about old Joy of Cooking editions, particularly the
illustrations from the '60s. Lo and behold, on my shelf was a 1962 edition
my father had given me.
The book opens with an epigram from Goethe's Faust: "That which thy fathers
have bequeathed to thee, earn it anew if thou wouldst possess it."
I was willing to try, but wow, culinary traditions have changed.
Alan went straight for the opossum recipe. If possible, the home chef is to
trap this nocturnal animal and feed it on milk and cereal for 10 days before
attempting to parboil, roast, and eat it, perhaps with some turnip greens.
Okaaaaaay!
On the same page as this delightful recipe was a helpful illustration of how
to skin a squirrel. (Gray squirrels are apparently preferred, as red ones
are "small and quite gamey in flavor.") I suspect this is knowledge no
longer commonly bequeathed, so I'm reproducing the drawing here to preserve
it.
