Dinner Time

Many of us enjoy going out for dinner, or to a friends house for a bbq, but what happens when it comes time to eat and drink? For example, in the case of a bbq, should you only eat what you brought or the equivalent (i.e don't eat the steak if you only brought sausages) or because its a group situation should you feel free to help yourself to whatever is on offer?
Also if you are eating out with a group, should you split the bill evenly amongst the group, regardless of whether you've ordered the most or least expensive thing on the menu, or should everyone pay for what they ordered?

Everyone should be allocated to bring certain foods/drinks to the occasion. You should be able to eat and drink what you want
as what you have brough to the party should be of similar value of everyone elses! eg. if you are bringing sausages - bring a more expensive wine, if you are bringing steak - bring softdrink. or desserts..etc.
Splitting bills...hmmm... i have some friends that will count down every last $ and make sure they get there $2.25 change from the pool of money, but I think you should just be fair. Split the bill but if you have had something significantly more extensive - eg. steak (lots of steak today!) you should put in more and let the group know - so that someone else who had a cheaper meal can get some $ in return - if they choose not to tip!
