Thread Name: What is a Plectrum Banjo?
Subject: RE: What is a Plectrum Banjo?
About egg banjos. I almost forgot about them. We had an egg banjo in our house where I grew up. It consists of a round metal frame with thin metal wires strung across it and this mechanism has a handle. (So it looks like a banjo.) You push a hard-boiled egg through it, over the wires, and the egg gets sliced.

Now somebody is going to tell me a plectrum banjo is for slicing hard-boiled plectrums (or should I say plectra.)
