American pet peevs (II)

You go to an upscale (or not so upscale) restaurant in the US and the menu is divided this way:

- Appetizers

- Entrées

- Desserts

At first I thought: "Wow, they have two types of starters here! But they are really expensive... Where are the mains?"

I'm all for using french words in culinary, I think it sounds great and is oh so much more chic! But can anyone please hand them a French-English dictionary so they can know that "entrée" does not mean main course?? It's everywhere! Can they not see the resemblance to the word "entry"??
