The main ingredient is typically meat or fish; in vegetarian dishes, the main dish sometimes tries to imitate meat.
For these reasons, the main dish is sometimes called “meat”.
Most often, main courses are preceded by an appetizer, soup and/or salad, followed by dessert.
In a formal dinner, well-planned main dishes can act as a gastronomic pinnacle or culmination.
In such a scheme, the pre-courses are designed to prepare for and precede the main course in such a way that the main course is predictable.
And, when the course is successfully arranged, the main course increases its ability to satisfy and delight the diner.
The dishes served after the main course soothe the palate and the stomach, acting as a sort of dénouement or anti-climax.
