“A Cow’s Tongue Is In My House”

Only in New Orleans will you find a grown woman on TV dressed in nothing but a black bikini while handling processed meat and uttering the words, “Cow’s tongue … I don’t even want to touch it … (picks it up) look, it weighs five pounds … chicken’s foot and pig’s lips. We do not need to be eating this stuff.”

This is none other than Sheila St. James, host of the “Shape Up With Sheila!” TV show (cable access – Orleans Parish only). Great advice from a health professional, but you can imagine my confusion as to whether it was a comedy show segment or for real.

Honorable mentions to coon’s tail (“why don’t you just stop at the coon’s ass?”) and frog legs.

    I seen the “Shape Up With Sheila!” TV show – I LOVE Sheila. She was displaced by Hurricane Katrina in August 2005 and now lives in the Twin Cities. Yes she is a health educator but I do think she was a comedian in a previous life. She has a phenomenal personality and I look forward to seeing her do GREAT things in the near future. http://www.SheilaStJames.com

    Thanks for the write up; very funny!
