Default Mandolins

Yep. I checked on various websites and they spelled it both ways. Just
google "kitchen mandolin" and you'll see what I mean.

Started considering getting one recently when I wanted to make
scalloped potatoes, using a mix of yellow flesh and sweet potatoes.
Cutting really thin (and even) slices of sweet potato using a 7"
kitchen knife was a fun challenge! And I don't think playing them a
song with my musical talents would suffice to have the potatoes slice
themselves ... ;-)

I don't have a food processor at this time...it's chiefly a space
issue, but also because doubt I would pull it out and set it up for
the small quantities I would be making. I was thinking more of
something that could slip into a drawer or hang off a hook in a
cupboard.
