Today I learned that Americans call the main course the "entrée"

What?!?

@Felthry in the rest of the world, "entrée" means a starter dish, never the main dish

@lizardsquid oh, huh. Weird. I suppose that's another way that Americans are weird.

@Felthry @lizardsquid s/weird/confusing people whose language they “borrow” from/

(“entrée” is def. French)

@kellerfuchs @lizardsquid well yeah I know it's French. I never knew that it was called something else elsewhere though
