I buy "really thin" provolone for my husband, who is still seriously watching
his thermodynamics. He can put a couple of those on a crust

with tomato sauce and call it pizza. He hasn't eaten real pizza in more
than a year, so this more or less satisfies his cravings. He's lost
more than 160 pounds; now the really hard work begins.

You can, you know, use more than one slice on a cheeseburger. Not
that I'd know, since I don't put cheese on my burgers.

I bought a package of really thin Kraft mozzarella slices, which he
didn't like (not enough flavor). I've been eating them three at a
a time, melted onto a piece of multigrain toast that was rubbed with a
fresh garlic clove. It's good alongside a bowl of vegetable soup,
and amps up the meal's protein satisfactorily. So what if it's like
eating melted wax on a slice of garlic toast?
