Main Dish

"Main dishes" (also called entrées in some countries like the U.S., or mains in the UK and elsewhere) are the central or most substantial part of a meal, typically served after any appetizers or starters. They usually include a source of protein (like meat, fish, or legumes), and are often accompanied by vegetables, grains or starches.
