Food Mill

I got a food mill this weekend after being ticked off that the "seedless grapes" I bought at the farmer's market were, yet again, concord grapes. (Really, does anyone like concord grapes? The skin is like leather and there are a bunch of little seeds that you can't work around.) Anyway, I used the food mill to deal with the grapes and tried to use it on some tomato soup, but I have to be honest, I'm not loving the thing. I know there's at least one food mill lover who reads the blog, so I'm guessing there are more of you out there. So, tell me, why do you love it? What's your favorite recipe? Help me love it before I retire it to the basement or put it out at the yard sale. Oh, and mashed potatoes are not a reasonable favorite recipe (lumps are awesome) unless you can back it up with why the perfectly smooth potatoes compliment some other dish incredibly well. 


Bonus points awarded to anyone who can provide a good reason for buying concord grapes because I'm just terribly curious about the little buggers.

I have a used/antique one my parents got me. I've used it once. Not a fan.
