Today we are going to look at the truth about Hillbilly stereotypes. Remember, every word of this is true. (or it wouldn’t be on the Internet!)
To most of America, a Hillbilly is a person, usually white, uneducated, and living in the southern United States. The word Hillbilly is sometimes used as an insult, but more commonly it’s used in a joking fashion.
How To Cook Possums
A common stereotype of Hillbilly life is that we are all inbred. Ask your self this: Is everyone in the south hideously deformed? If you answered yes, LEAVE NOW. My purpose here is to disprove all the unfair stereotypes that Hillbillies are forced to live with. All (ok, most) of these stereotypes are completely false.
A common myth is that all hillbillies live in the middle of the woods, and eat whatever they accidentally hit with their car. This is true!*
*Okay, no, it’s not true. Here is what one reader had to say,
” What you said bout hillbillies running over critters for food was misleadin’ folks! Everybody knows that most us hillbillies don’t have cars. We usually have to wait for a northerner to come passin through. They caint drive a lick and always gonna leave roadkill along the way. We worry bout our women and chilluns somethin fierce!
But it is working out for the best I reckon. Before them uppity northerners started passin’ through roadkill was hard to come by. Truth be told we was a goin’ hungry mite near all the time. But now that we got tourists a runnin’ up and down the roads we can have roadkill just as often as them fancy folk up north.”
Now if you think about it, roadkill does sound really tasty.
You are probably gettin’ hungry just reading this.
I know I am!
Roadkill, It’s Not Your Pre-packaged Veggie Burger
Roadkill Possum Delight
When you, as a northerner, eat your fancy little pre-packaged veggie burger, not only are you slowly diminishing your manhood (quite literally in some cases), you are also trusting whoever manufactured that veggie burger not to slip something nasty in!
Who knows, companies who produce veggie burgers are businesses as well, and Lord knows businesses in these tough economical times could use a little break on expenses. Maybe that healthy “veggie” burger is actually just some road kill, spit, and a touch of parsley.
Don’t worry and wonder what you are eating and feeding to your family! When you eat road kill, you are fully aware of what you are eating. And boy is it good!
Pre-packaged Veggie Burger
REMEMBER! Pre-packaged Veggie Burger taste terrible! Don’t let your family eat that garbage!
Another stereotype is that Hillbillies are Rednecks. This is absolutely not true! Our necks are tastefully tan, with areas of black. I asked a doctor about it once, and he mumbled some medical nonsense about the oil that comes from certain easily-killed animals. I don’t have a clue what he was talking about.
The stereotype that really makes me angry is that all Hillbillies listen to banjo music. I, as a full-fledged Hillbilly, love classical music. There is just something about listening to Bach while scraping dinner of the road… Can you say irony?
Though Hillbillies take a lot of crap, they are really a friendly, industrious, and hospitable people. Also, you should know that we have just as many stereotypes for Northerners as you do for Hillbillies! And be careful when making fun of hillbillies. We know where you live (somewhere north of where we live, right…?)

Well, the best thing about roadkill is that it is always car season!
A few days ago I was driving along and a skunk ran right out in front of me. I tried to slow down so I wouldnt hit it but it was too late. Even though it was just a skunk I felt really bad about hurting the critter. Funny that just a few days later I come across this nutty site and see this article.
Just wait till you nab a fresh squirrel. They are absolutely scrumptious. Unfortunately, they aren’t quite as dumb as the possum, so if you find one, consider it a treat!
You wanna try my next door neighbours fat Rotweiller stew…hmmm nothing like that…still lickin’ me pouty lips rememberin’

bY NOW YALL IM GON TO GET SOME PREY
Sure is something curious about this website. I don’t think genuine HillBilly’s are doing any of the writing, but since it’s supposed to be entertaining and fun, I won’t protest too much about the drawl, purposely misspelled words and impressions of what a real hillbilly should sound like.
It can be somewhat demeaning and insulting to the real hill folk, from my point of view. In any case, I’ve always wanted to meet a genuine hill person, but never got the chance. Always heard about their corn whiskey and white lightning too, but never had a sip.
My Dad was good friends with a family in West Virginia who lived in a tumble-down shack for years and years but I never got to go; they left me with my Grandmother. He and his buddy served in WWII and became fast friends although they lived hundreds of miles apart. Are West Virginians considered hill people?
Anyway, one day, oil and gas was discovered on the property. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer bunch, but it didn’t go to their head. They still continued to live in the shack. Only trouble was when my Mom complained on one of their visits about the snake that bit her as she was walking through the screen door. My Dad took a look and determined it wasn’t poisonous, but she was so scared, she sat up all night ontop of the kitchen table. Truth be known, I think it tackled her shoe and didn’t actually bite her. Dad said they had about 35 hunting dogs on the property. Imagine the howling and ruckus from those dogs when they smelled game. I’ve got some old photos too of the whole clan.
The buddy’s wife is still living now in her late 80’s, but unfortunately Dad’s buddy passed a couple of years back. Dad’s still living and will turn 90 in a couple of months having outlived two wives. For a Yankee, he could pass for a real live hillbilly and gets teased a lot . Played the “juice harp” himself and guitar, and loves the old, twangy country songs he still listens to with one good ear.
Hello oldgeeze59
Thanks for your very interesting comment. To be honest this website IS written by a hillbilly, me. I grew up in southeastern Ky. Also, you should be aware that the purpose of this site is not to present real hillbillies. It’s purpose is to make fun of the stupid stereotypes hillbillies have had to endure for so long.
This website is too funny, I live in PA and have a grandson living in MT. We continually write back and forth about this type of thing. Gathering, cooking and eating “roadkill”.
So he sent this information to me and I got a good laugh from it, especially since it’s so similar to what we go on and on about over the internet, and get lots of good chuckles.
Along these rural roads I travel, there is always roadkill available, if I would desire to pick up the critters and make a good soup or stew!!
Thanks for a good laugh for the day……
Happy eating.
As I travel the rural roads in PA, many different types of “roadkill” is available. I have a grandson living in MT, and we often email back and forth about this very thing; getting, cooking and eating roadkill. We really get some good laughs from sharing these bits of humor. So this information really tickled my funny-bone as I read it. I’m sure a good combination of possum, skunk, ground hog, and deer would make a very tasty stew to be enjoyed in the winter months ahead!!!
HAPPY EATING………
I was searching online for a possum stew recipe to include in my Pop’s fathers’ day card and found your site. What a treat! I grew up in my PawPaw Preston’s home and he was from Alabama and Gramma was from Oklahoma, so I had the best of both worlds. Thank you for sharing all the recipes and humor. I’ve got to go and draw my water now, so take care til next time. Daisymoss, proud hillbilly girl
