Hi, Denis!  Adding to what Mike said in reply to your message:

          In Canadian English we'd say the vegetables had been "diced" if they
appeared to have been cut with a knife into small pieces.  Typically the shape
is +/- that of a sugar cube, but the pieces are somewhat smaller.

          To "rice" means to force some sort of food through a coarse strainer
(AKA a sieve).  Apparently that's the trendy way to make mashed potatoes these
days, or so the folks selling "ricers" would have us believe....  :-)
