We call starters appetizers. Or hors d'oeuvres (and they say English is messed up...). I've also only ever heard entrée be used to describe the main course.

I hope this is leading to a storyline where a brash young up-and-comer with fire in her belly turns up on the scene to challenge Dora for the coffee crown.

An entrée is more like a starter. I never understood the whole "entrée = main course" thing. If someone does know...
