Need this nationwide. I hate having fees added on to the price of what I'm ordering.

Just in case this isn't a joke, then this is probably a country difference. In America, "entree" is synonymous with "main course". I know, I know. That's not what entree means. But the fact remains.

Where im from ive never heard of that, entree is usually a starter snack to hold you over till the food is done. But this could also be a regional thing still.

It’s specifically the US that calls main courses entrees. No clue why.

Ive never heard of that, and Im from SoCal. Shouldve made it clear im from the US but yeah never heard of folks calling an entree the full meal.

I am from Texas and have lived in several states in the eastern half of the US. “Entree” on a menu has always been the main dish in my experience. You also frequently see it used that way on recipe websites. This is the first I’ve heard that entree has a different meaning elsewhere. Merriam Webster has a bit of background info on how that came to be.

Hmm maybe this is a weird area where my part of SoCal reverted then, we do have a pretty big European immagrant population to this day. Lots of Germans and Nordics for some reason.
