世上第一大炸鱼
地方性遗产
为什么田纳西巴黎镇的路标上会有一只巨大的鲶鱼？
因为巴黎镇是「世上第一大炸鱼」的发源地，在这个长达六天的庆祝活动上，饥饿的参观者会消耗掉约12,500磅的鲶鱼。这项庆祝活动始于1953年，节目内容包括了游行、方块舞、汽车展及鲶鱼竞赛(假如您幸运的话)！
您知道田纳西巴黎镇的名字由来吗？它是为了纪念独立战争的英雄拉法叶的故乡，(Lafayette：全名为Marquis
de Lafayette, Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier)，所以就拿法国的巴黎来当做镇名。拉法叶曾与乔治华盛顿的军队一起作战，而且曾于1800年代早期造访过田纳西。
Why is there a giant catfish on top of that sign for Paris, Tennessee?
Because Paris is home to an event that claims to be the "world's biggest fish fry." Hungry visitors will consume about 12,500 pounds of catfish during the festivities, which last for six days. The event began in 1953 and includes parades, square dances, an auto show, and, if you're lucky, a catfish race!
Do you know how Paris, Tennessee, got its name? It was named after Paris, France, to honor the homeland of Revolutionary War hero Lafayette, whose full name is Marquis de Lafayette, Marie Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier! He had fought with George Washington's army and visited Tennessee in the early 1800s.
