porkchops

Bone-in dinner meat

Porkchops are cuts of pork from the loin, sliced perpendicular to the spine and typically including a section of rib bone.

They're a staple of home cooking, pan-fried, grilled, or baked: Mom's porkchops with applesauce.

The singular porkchop sometimes describes something shaped like the cut—a rounded form with a protruding handle.
