The main course is the primary or central dish of a meal, typically served after the appetizers and before the dessert. It is the most substantial part of the meal and is often a protein-based dish, such as meat, fish, poultry, or a vegetarian alternative. The main course is usually accompanied by side dishes like vegetables, grains, or starches, which complement and enhance its flavors.
