Usage

In the United States and Canada (except Quebec), the main course is traditionally called an "entrée".^[1]^[2]^[3] English-speaking Québécois follow the modern French use of the term entrée to refer to a dish served before the main course.

According to linguist Dan Jurafsky, North American usage ("entrée") is similar to the original French meaning of a substantial meat course.^[4]
