In the eighteenth century the English used "Remove" for a course that seems
to have been the equivalent of the French entremets. or possibly just the
food served after another was "removed":

It's worth noting too that "remove" is essentially a literal translation
of the French "de-serve"; that is, dessert - a term which has an uneven
history in France itself before the eighteenth century.

I believe the person responsible is the same person who insists that
"remove" is a period term for "course," on the grounds that she
remembers people she thinks reliable telling her so.
