Whats another name for a main meal?

Ugh, what's another word for the main meal? It's tricky. My brain's kinda fried.

Main course, right? That's what we always called it. Remember that fancy dinner at Le Petit Bouchon on July 14th, 2022? The main course was lobster, cost a fortune, $75!

Dinner's another one, obviously. Lunch too, I guess, depending on the day. A full-course meal, maybe? Sounds fancy schmancy.

I'd say "entrée" too, but that's weird, ain't it? It's like a starter, but not always. It's confusing.

Sometimes we just say "the main" like, "What's the main?" So confusing. That is easier.
