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
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.

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

suspicious word...
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...
