I only just learnt that Tasmanians eat possums...

There was a restaurant in the south eastern suburbs of Melbourne serving possum caught in Tasmania. I can’t remember the name of it. There was also one in Stawell. Before European settlement, possums were widely hunted for meat and fur in Victoria.
