Is there a name for this way of cutting/slicing?!


Question: Is there a name for this way of cutting/slicing!?
When we make zucchini, squash, eggplant, or the like, I like to slice it into disks, then slice each disk in half to form half moons!.!.!. If I were writing this down in a recipe, is there a name for this kind of slice!? Its not a dice, or rough chop, its not even sliced on the bias!.!.!. I have no idea what its called!.!.!.
Its easy enough to explain within the recipe instructions, but I was curious if there was a name for it to save a step!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, I don't think there is a specific name for this!. If you are writing the recipe for something formal, try looking for it at my source!.

Good luck!
