"Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
                Wi' perfect sconner,
Looks down wi' sneering, scornfu' view
                On sic a dinner?"

I believe that a fricassee is just a stew with a white sauce. It's not included in the glossary of my edition of Burns.
