Common brushtail possum

>The common brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula, from the Greek for "furry tailed" and the Latin for "little fox", previously in the genus Phalangista) is a nocturnal, semiarboreal marsupial of the family Phalangeridae, native to Australia and naturalised in New Zealand, and the second-largest of the possums. Like most possums, the common brushtail possum is nocturnal. It is mainly a folivore, but has been known to eat small mammals such as rats. In most Australian habitats, eucalyptus leaves are a significant part of the diet, but rarely the sole item eaten.

Opossum

>Opossums () are members of the marsupial order Didelphimorphia () endemic to the Americas. The largest order of marsupials in the Western Hemisphere, it comprises 93 species in 18 genera. Opossums originated in South America and entered North America in the Great American Interchange following the connection of North and South America. The Virginia opossum is the only species found in the United States and Canada.

I put in Anchorage Alaska and other than cheeseburger etc that every US city has listed for them. they offered muktuk, Akutaq, and jellied moose nose. Ok yes those exist here however they are not something most people have eaten or will ever eat outside of villages/natives.

They are....unique foods. You will actually be hard pressed to find any to get. No one just sells that stuff. Especially muktuk, anything deal with whale meat and the like is pretty restricted. So unless you go up to some of the coastal bush villages and make friends you won't ever see it.

The only thing Alaska really has going for it that's "Alaskan" someone can just go but is smoked salmon. Wild game like moose and reindeer is also restricted you can't sell it. You can some farm raised reindeer though, but farm raised in not the same in the slightest.
