In a formal, French-style dinner, a dish that follows and replaces another dish is called a releve. The word literally means lifted away, a reference to the previous dish having been removed from the table. These dishes are also sometimes known as removes, and in fact remove is the older of the two terms, coming into use in the last quarter of the eighteenth century. Releve did not appear in English until the second quarter of the nineteenth century, apparently intended as a genteel synonym for the rather blunt remove.<\/p>\n
In formal dining, the term “entremet” is used to describe a variety of dishes that are served after the soup course, which may include fish or other similar options. However, in more common usage, the term typically refers to a substantial main dish, often featuring meat, that is served as part of a multi-course meal.<\/p>\n
