The Pot o' Brown isn't, or wasn't, that uncommon in the real world in some places - pots of stew have been kept going literally for years with regular additions of fresh whatever-could-be-provided and water. At least one inn in England is noted for it, IIRC.
(It's also a significant detail in the Liavek anthologies, though there it's simply called pot-boil.)
