Main course

A main course is the featured or primary dish in a meal consisting of several courses. It usually follows the entrée (lit. 'entry') course.

Usage
In the United States and Canada (except Quebec), the main course is traditionally called an "entrée". 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") comes from the original French meaning of the first of many meat courses.
