I’m pretty sure that translates in any culture that eats meat and has gone to war. There might have been an isolated village of vegetarians sometime in history who would have been confused.
If you look up sausages around the world, most regions are covered. Historically, from a survival perspective, you didn’t want to throw away any meat, and grinding up less palatable parts is an easy way to do that. Often, that led to sausages, but American Aboriginals often went with pemmican, Scots did haggis, and I’m sure there were other ways in other regions. The only regions I haven’t seen without a historical sausage is Africa, but the Roman Empire had chopped meat dishes, so the idea may have been exported thousands of years ago even if it didn’t spontaneously originate there.
Okay but sincere question: does the idiom translate?

Sincere question - do all meat-eating cultures have popular dishes where the meat is ground up?
Pretty much yeah, because that’s how you utilise the shittiest parts.
I mean I can’t speak for all cultures obviously.
But you know.
