We call it a couple of things: "meat grinder" is the older term, marketing 'oids are trying to tell us "food mill," on account of you can do things like steel-cut your own steel-cut oats and such.

Famous but OT quote about meat grinders from late in WW2. Scroll down about halfway for the quote.

Quote:
Turning toward Bradley as he described his plans for the southern shoulder of the Bulge, Patton contended, “Brad, the Kraut’s stuck his head in a meat grinder. And”—he turned his fist in simulation—“this time I have hold of the handle.”
