What was it that Granny called them on the Beverly Hillbillies?

Stew...

Granny served up "heapin' helpins of possum stew". She also made
possum pies.

I found these.... still funny as when I first heard 'em...

Granny: "How do you like yer possum, Lowell, fallin' off the bones tender or
with a little fight left in it?"

[to an obviously revolted Mr. Drysdale] Jed Clampett: "That's the thing
about salted down possum, it's just as good the second day."



Maybe what I'm thinking of is what Ellie May called animals. Was it
"critters," or something else?
