Pizza, V? I suppose cheese and meats are optional. One can. Some do. If we get into "It has minerals in it!" then we'll have to argue about what atoms are, so fine, pass.

Guitar (!) Strings, A? I know about catgut, for violens in my mind, but let us wiki it. Huh neat, catgut is intestenal fiber from usually goat or sheep, sometimes cat-tle, but never actually cat.
