Before I was wed, and very often when I worked away from home, I did cook my own nosh. I've too often seen how cooks in the field do such things as spit in oil to check it's temperature - and worse. Trust me, VERY much worse.
My old. Mum taught me how to cook as a kid and when I went up to university I was very popular but probably only because of the regular meals I'd churn out a couple of times a week. Mostly Russian, Polish and German stuff like goulash - dead simple to do but still not well known at the time.
Same with stroganoff. Almost unknown but it was like giving donkeys strawberries! Cheap too.
Chicken soup and lokshen (Vermicelli) was also a case of nothing left and once again very inexpensive because it was best made with boiling fowl and again was mostly a case of simmer for a long time.
In fact simmering for a very long time was a common theme.
As for my hairy hands, only hairy on the palms so that's ok!
