Main course
• A main course is the featured or primary dish in a meal
consisting of several courses. It usually follows the
entrée ("entry") course, and the salad course. In North
American usage it may in fact be called the "entrée".
• The main course is usually the heaviest, heartiest, and
most complex or substantive dish on a menu. The main
ingredient is usually meat or fish; in vegetarian meals,
the main course sometimes attempts to mimic a meat
course. It is most often preceded by an appetizer, soup,
or salad, and followed by a dessert. For those reasons
the main course is sometimes referred to as the "meat
course".
