I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'slices' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both natural objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'meat on board' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'meat' could be 'liver' (liver is a kind of meat) and 'liver' is present in the answer.
'on board' could be 'ss' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ss' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for slivers that I've seen before include "Bits" , "Thin strips of wood or glass" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
