Spanish term or phrase: quesito
La primera gráfica muestra en un diagrama de pastel las cantidades que se han adjudicado los diferentes proveedores, con un “quesito” especial en color blanco que representa la cantidad que queda por adjudicar. En esta gráfica aparecen los 5 proveedores que más cantidad se han adjudicado, y el resto de proveedores aparecen agrupados en un sexto “quesito” que los representa a todos, y que contiene la suma de las cantidades adjudicadas por cada uno de ellos.

Slice? Wedge? Other? TIA

portion


Explanation:
In Trivial Pursuit each piece of the pie is named a wedge, or quesito in Spanish.
The idea we want here is simple: segment, parcel, subdivision... I think you can take your pick.

agree  Gwenydd Jones: I've heard the use of "quesito" in Spain in this context, and I think "sector" is the correct term, at least in British English.
