You can get possum pie, pate, etc. at some food markets or agricultural shows. ?The fur can be bought also.
Anyone tried possum meat yet? ? :-/ ?

I reckon this part of NZ culture is gonna be quite hard for me to accept! I've heard that the NZ'ers don't really come down on the side of 'emotional aaaah' when it comes to animals, they don't have qualms about eating or wearing their furry co-habitants. I can be pragmatic about animals being farmed for food as long as they're kept and culled humanely and only on demand of course but wearing one..........no, that just switches my adrenalin fuelled animal instincts to fight stance. We are no longer iron age settlers whose only chance to survive a harsh winter in a shelter made from wood, bark and thatch is to skin a bear and wear it for 6 months. We have progressed marginally since then, I think :-/
