it messed with my head to hear that the english world interprets an "entrée" as a main course

  American English, but not British. Dinner here is a starter, main course and dessert. "Entrée" messes with my head as well, since it very much sounds like a starter.

    It's French for starter, even

    > Dinner here is a starter, main course and dessert. Yep. Check out the online menus in English restaurants and pubs. 'Mains' is the typical term used.

      It's also the electrical supply. What a country.

        And the water supply. And the central building on farms (in Scotland, at least). It's a silly country.

  Don't even think about "a la mode" then.
