Adding to what Mike said in reply to your message:              DM> I was know new word: riced. Give in metro package       DM> of little knifred vegetables, and they - riced. But       DM> on rice into packageā. They simply knifed to size       DM> of rices (in real they more bigger then rices).                      In Canadian English we'd say the vegetables had been "diced" if they       appeared to have been cut with a knife into small pieces. Typically the shape       is +/- that of a sugar cube, but the pieces are somewhat smaller.               To "rice" means to force some sort of food through a coarse strainer       (AKA a sieve). Apparently that's the trendy way to make mashed potatoes these       days, or so the folks selling "ricers" would have us believe.... :-)                                   --- timEd/386 1.10.y2k+        * Origin: Wits' End, Vancouver CANADA (1:153/716)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 18/0 19/10 90/1 116/116 120/340 123/0 25 40 50       SEEN-BY: 123/131 150 170 180 755 135/300 138/146 153/250 757 7715       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 360 226/30 227/114 702 229/101 275       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 664 1016 240/1120 1634 1895 2100 5138 5411 5832       SEEN-BY: 240/5853 8001 8002 8005 249/206 317 261/38 280/5003 5006       SEEN-BY: 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200 382/147 423/81       SEEN-BY: 460/58 640/1138 1321 1384 712/848 2454/119 3634/0 12 15 27       SEEN-BY: 3634/50       PATH: 153/7715 3634/12 640/1384 221/1 280/5003 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
