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?

Well in my personal situation, when invited out to a friends place for a bbq, I always bring a selection of things, such as a bottle of wine, bread, and some meat or home made salads, therefore, I dont feel bad if I sample a few things that I havent bought, plus all of my friends do the same... so everyone bogs in and has a great meal and a great time, and as for dining out at restaurants, we all pay seperately, or if it is a banquet situation eg. chinese food... we split the bill evenly between the number of guests
