[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://frenchly.us/americans-call-main-course-entree/ Google. Do better. [/quote] French person here. Very stupid article. Entrée in French has always been used correctly to designate a dish that precedes the main dish, whether it's course number 1 or 3 or whatever. Entrée in English was used correctly at first when there were many courses, but incorrectly later when that number was reduced, because chefs didn't care or understand what it was supposed to designate. They could just as easily have switched to calling appetizers (American) or starters (British) the "entrées". [/quote]
