   Hi, Denis!  Adding to what Mike said in reply to your message:

             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....  :-)
