A. 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") retains the original
French meaning of a substantial meat course.
