      Now I’m not finding a source for the guillotine machine… I’ve seen one in person, and it had a spinning disc blade, because there are Jewish dietary laws that say you can’t press the blade into the neck, it must be a slice.

      It might also have been a case of an enterprising butcher being inventive and sidestepping the rules…
