Let's not forget that entrée, in French, means "appetizer". ETA: I see this is mentioned in the article. Posted too hastily :-)

- Camillo 10y agoThis confused me when I moved to America, because I thought it meant an appetizer. Then, when I visited France, it confused me again, because by that point I thought it meant a main course.
- dorfsmay 10y agoSame here, actually asked the waiter for the menu with the main dish. And same with "matinee", morning in french, but a daytime performance in english, which is typically taking place in the afternoon.
- rjsw 10y agoThere are also American restaurant menus that state that a dish comes "with with sauce".
- lmm 10y agoIn British English too.
