Thanks for your response, Om. The original thread implied these fried
lemon slices were the bee's knees or the duck's nuts, or whatever. So
I was curious about this most obvious element of the recipe that
wasn't covered adequately for a neophyte.

P.S. Thanks too, to Peter H. for replying re possums in Kiwiland.
Can't say I've heard of them being eaten lately here in Oz either, but
I'm sure the Aboriginees used them. (There's a traditional cooking
method for "opossum" given on p.217 of BENNETT, George (1860)
"Gatherings of a Naturalist in Australasia: Being Observations
Principally on the Animal and Vegetable Productions of New South
Wales, New Zealand and Some of the Austral Islands.")
And it seems there's a market for the meat in Asia:
