Definitions: Utensil

Bite with me.

Utensil:  Human lips, teeth and tongue, for those who are not fastidious eaters and simply stick their heads into the pot and slurp.

Utensil:  The human hand, for those who are fastidious eaters. (Comes in washed and unwashed versions, left or right hand models.)

Utensil:  Spoon. Normally not considered essential among ultralight backpackers, but may be fun to bring along for special occasions.

Utensil:  Useless affectation such as a knife, fork or spork, especially if made of titanium.

Utensil:  What you find in the road in upscale neighborhoods instead of a fork.
