thin slices
Wafer-like portions carved
Thin slices are narrow cuts of something, typically food: thin slices of prosciutto, paper-thin slices of ginger.
The phrase extends to small samples of anything: thin slices of time, thin slices of data.
In psychology, thin-slicing refers to making quick judgments from minimal information—reading a situation from a brief glimpse rather than extended observation.
