mincer

Kitchen grinding device

A mincer is a device for grinding meat or other food into small pieces, typically by forcing it through a perforated plate—called a meat grinder in American English.

In British slang, mincer is a derogatory term for an effeminate or gay man, from the verb mince describing affected, dainty steps.
