1. entree

   An entree is a main course or the primary dish in a meal. It typically consists of a protein such as meat, poultry, or fish, along with sides like vegetables or starches. The term is derived from French cuisine, but it is used widely in modern dining, particularly in restaurants. However, the term can also refer to a dish served before the main course in some countries like the UK and Canada. Its context shifts depending on cultural dining traditions.

1. Entrée

   An entrée is a dish served before the main course, or between two principal courses of a meal. The disappearance in the early 20th century of a large communal main course such as a roast as a standard part of the meal in the English-speaking world has led to the term being used to describe the main course itself in North America. This usage is unusual in the rest of the world though it is documented by some British dictionaries. Hence, in America, the term entrée is rarely used for an hors d'oeuvre, also called a "first course", "appetizer" or "starter". Outside of America, an entrée is a first course. In 1970, Richard Olney, an American living in Paris, gave the place of the entrée in a French full menu: "A dinner that begins with a soup and runs through a fish course, an entrée, a sorbet, a roast, salad, cheese and dessert, and that may be accompanied by from three to six wines, presents a special problem of orchestration". In 1967 Julia Child and her co-authors outlined the character of such entrées, which – when they did not precede a roast – might serve as the main course of a luncheon, in a chapter of "Entrées and Luncheon Dishes" that included quiches, tarts and gratins, soufflés and timbales, gnocchi, quenelles and crêpes.
