Answer:
SLAB
Hint:
Think of a heavy, flat block often used in construction or for serving food, like a chunk of stone or a baking surface.
Explanation:
"Thick piece" directly hints at "slab," which is a broad, flat, and solid chunk of material like stone, wood, or concrete. The clue plays on the literal meaning—something thick and substantial—without any hidden wordplay or tricks. You might picture a slab of meat, a concrete slab for construction, or even a rock slab in nature. It’s a straightforward definition where the answer fits the description perfectly.
