Closest to hash browns ... if you get them from Denny's with everything imaginable in it. Of course, the way I do it, they're more like home fries than a fried pancake of shredded potatoes -- not that there's anything wrong with the shredded potato ones, but this way I just have to clean a knife and not a grater as well.
I wouldn't be surprised if the CS term and the culinary terms are polysemous -- both have a vague sense of chopping up something to make a new product that is based on the original input, but in some ways made more homogeneous.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
