ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Entrée

Okay kiddo, let me explain what 'entrée' means.

You know how when we go to a restaurant, there are many different things we can order to eat? Some things are very small, like snacks, and some things are bigger and more filling, like a full meal.

Well, the word 'entrée' is a French word that means the main dish of a meal. It's the part of the meal that is usually the biggest and most filling. Sometimes people use the word 'entrée' to mean the dish that comes first, but in most restaurants, it means the main dish.

So, if you go out to eat with your family and you order something like a steak or a pasta dish, that would be your 'entrée'. It's the part of your meal that you're most excited to eat, because it's usually the biggest and most delicious part!
