[Sca-cooks] Almond Mill?

[Johnna Holloway]

They still exist. You can do an image search on mandelkvarn, almond  
mill, or Mandelmuel and turn them up. One catalog lists them as : 6350  
180 mm

Mandelkvarn Almond grinder Mandelmühle

They were mentioned back in 2001 and that post is in the Florilegium.

The latest catalog from king Arthur Flour has a nut mill in it.  It  
looks a

lot like a meat grinder, only slightly smaller
