The part holding the "dough" (or whatever) is trough-like, leading one
to believe that a rolled round of material goes in there. I have a lot
of refrigerator cookie recipes that call for making up the dough this
way before slicing. And there is no place to "feed" dough into it...it
simply takes a "round."

Were the slicing parts stronger, I'd say it was for slicing cocktail
breads.

Something else interesting....the idea that the words "Made in Sweden"
are in English. This would imply that it is not for something out of
the ordinary in the US -i.e., not necessarily ethnic in nature.
