A guillotine for vegetables that occasionally remembers it was designed for fingers too.
means A flat kitchen tool with an adjustable blade that slices vegetables into thin, uniform pieces by sliding them across it.
from From French mandoline, the same word as the musical instrument — the kitchen device borrowed the name, likely because its slim, flattish body and parallel-strung look recall the lute-shaped mandolin. That instrument's name traces back through Italian mandolino, a diminutive of mandola, ultimately from the Greek pandoura, an old three-stringed instrument. So the thing that shreds your carrots is, etymologically, a tiny lute.
