![]() The longitudinal blade assembly 14 can be operated before the transverse blade assembly 16 or vice versa, or only one of the blade assemblies can be operated if that is all that is desired. In this way, the longitudinal blade assembly 14 and the transverse blade assembly 16 permit a user to slice hot dogs 20 both lengthwise into quarters (longitudinally) and sideways through their width (transversely) to end up with small pieces of hot dog that can be safely eaten by children without choking. In addition, for performing the longitudinal slicing, the slicer preferably includes a plunger and a longitudinal blade arrangement in the housing chamber, similar to the paddle and longitudinal blade arrangement of the third exemplary embodiment. Preferably, the two parts include alignable openings that permit the hot dog, after it has been transversely sliced, to fall from the hopper into a chamber of the housing for longitudinal slicing, and one of the parts has a blocking section that prevents the hot dog from falling into the chamber during the transverse slicing. In a seventh exemplary embodiment, for example, the first part of the housing includes a hopper with a retainer wall surface and the second part of the housing includes a series of transverse blades extending into the hopper so that when the two parts are rotated relative to each other the hot dog is transversely sliced between the transverse blades and the retainer surface. In addition, the present invention provides a slicer that has a housing including two parts that rotate or otherwise move relative to each other to make the transverse slices.
