This dish was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it could have used more seasoning. However, the possum meat was tender and the sweet potatoes were cooked well.

I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed. The possum meat was tough and the sweet potatoes were undercooked. I think I might have needed to cook it for longer.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this dish was definitely not it. The possum meat was tough and gamey, and the sweet potatoes were bland. I couldn't even finish my plate.
