As long as no one is calling the main, entrée, everything will be fine.
Who does that? :blink:

I'd say an entree is a dish that can be served as the main course.

I admit that I avoided opening this thread for a full 24 hours because I've raised four children who loved this game just to see how quickly they could gross each other out.

I'm pleased to see that no insects or other wiggly things were included in the list.

I voted appetizer/starter. :sleep:
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

I was thinking about where I would expect the word to pop up, and I think it's most common in pot lucks. 

"Do you need more entrees?"

"No, we're set, bring a dessert or side dish."

So kind of agreeing with you.

No good meal is complete without an entrée.

Cant't remember where to place the norman québécois hole though (maple syrup whiskey shooter instead of calvados).  Is it before or after the sorbet?

Strange quirk of history.

I can't remember the last time I saw "entree" on a menu.  Usually they break it into categories: soups, salads, appetizers, seafood, steaks, pasta, etc.
More American barbarism :mad:

I'd rather have both than a main to be honest :blush:
:yes:
I've stopped ordering starter and main together, so I can skip to dessert if the starter is substantial enough.

Josquius

For me it's starter all the way. Would rather have a second starter (a finisher) than a dessert 9 times out of 10.

Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Monoriu

Starter.  It is reasonably easy to buy good dessert from elsewhere.  A good restaurant quality starter is more difficult to replicate. 

saskganesh

starter, because sugar is not a food.

Starters/appetizers. Only cuisine that would give me pause on that answer is Greek, because I'd be hard-pressed to choose between spanakopita and baklava- savory and sweet fillings go equally well with filo dough.
