As for the word chredded none of my dictionaries including my favourite computer Multilex and Webster's carries it. I've even consulted the Dictionary of American slang presented to me in a bookshop in Chappel Hill (North Carolina). No this word again. But I'll go on investigating the problem. Thanks a million for the riddle.

Well, I have to say that the word grated is the best one to use in this case but also often used shredded. I also use word grated but I have many recipes where it's called for shredded carrots,onions or else. So I use this word quiet often.
NatalyS I don't know why your dictionaries doesn't show that word, it's interesting because my dictionary shows the meaning of word "shredded" is (резать,разрезать,рвать,крошить,измельчать..)I guess that's why you can't find it because it's not exactly mean тертый.
Oh well I honestly never thought in Russian they mean a big difference at all.
I guess we all learn something new, right?????
I'm so glad we can teach each other, because I'm really interested in improving my Russian language. And this is the best way to do it.
Thanks guys for the conversations with me.
