I don't know that I'd call it "fruit and crumbs" (it's more about fruit and pistachio, with the crumbs just as filler), but you're probably thinking of the right thing.
And yes, many people say to use a food processor. Having done so, however, I don't recommend it: it can be hard on the device. Chopping the gluey dates is fairly hard on the motor, and the pistachios can grind away the plastic of an average food-processor bowl. I lost a Cuisinart to this dish.
So the idea of making it in a metal meat grinder instead is quite intriguing, and makes a certain intuitive sense...
