Cooking / Culinary / Catalan restaurant
Catalan term or phrase: llonses
forma part d'una carta d'un restaurant, una part d'una parillada de carn. No sé quina part del animal és, o de quina animal és. I qué serà en anglès?

I've tried gencat Dept of Commerç glossary and termcat. I know it's a kind of meat, part of an animal, probably pork, but not sure of the exact translation. Any ideas?

loin
Explanation:
This is the plural of llonze (it should be llonzes on the plural) and - in this area at least - it's used to refer to chops, usually pork chops.

Thanks Veronica, "llonzes" is what it must be, although the menu has very few orthographical errors.

suspicious word...


Explanation:
Since neither llonsa or llonça are words that I know, and none of them comes in the DIEC or the Alcover-Moll, I wonder wether this could be a creative translation of the Spanish 'loncha'. Do you have a Spanish version to check?

Just in case, here's what wordreference gives for 'loncha':
loncha sustantivo femenino
(generalmente) slice
[de bacón] slice; rasher (británico)

After some more searching, I find it comes from llonza:
Alcover Moll:
2. Tallada de carn adherida a una falsa costella (or., occ., val., bal.); cast. lonja, loncha.

The correct spelling in plural should be llonzes, then, not llonses.

But I do not know the English word for it...
