I wouldn't suggest it now due to the pandemic, but next time you go to a grocery and ask for roast beef, or cooked ham chipped, if they aren't new, they will give you something that is so thin you can pile it high on a sandwich.
I do know what you are referring to, in diners in my area they use what they call chipped beef or dried beef for a breakfast dish called $hit on a $hingle, or SOS. Although if i remember correctly, its mostly served with chipped beef which is just plain beef shaved really thin.
