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

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.
