20 Questions

Something metal you cook with or eat/drink with.

And he travels with it.

Gotta be a thermos, right? Or a hip flask?

I always travel (when by car) with a knife, and the thing I use it for most often is cutting food.

Would it usually be considered to be a utensil?

Is this a real question?

Umm, yes, unless for some reason it's a terrible one? 😊

It would not be considered a utensil.

Nah. I'm just more careful late in the game.

Thought it could be a spoon, fork, or knife.

Could be some kind of pot/pan.

Something mostly metal to eat, drink or cook with thats not a utensil and that most people own but probably wouldn’t take on a trip with them, although he does.

If IRTM goes camping a lot a pot/pan does fit.

Maybe ask if it has a handle.

Aren't these a cooking utensil?

At this point I'm thinking

irtm has a lucky can

Could be a corkscrew or a bottle opener.

Ooo I've been destroyed on more than 1 occasion having an alcoholic beverage and it being tricky to access

Even more of a utensil than a pot/pan imo.

Maybe ask him for the definition he's using.

I wouldn't say those are for cooking.

A flask is something I've always wanted but never owned one. Don't even know why I want one. I'm not really a hard alcohol guy. Just seems like a thing to own.

Is it meant to be used for cooking food on a stove or in an oven?

No

Are we not trying the corkscrew or bottle opener idea?
