Hmm..
In Norway we have a dish called lapskaus, which is basically a stew
made with chunks of potatoes, turnips, carrots, meat (normally of ox,
and yes - it is real meat; I have watched my mother make it), and
often sausage (Norwegian sausages are subject to legislation about
what may and may not be used in making it). I don't see how that can
rate very high on the icky-factor, unless you think all stews are
icky? There is something called brown lapskaus, but it is brown only
because it is made with gravy.
Best regards
