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?

If it's BOM then we only eat what we bring unless invited to try something else, or are offered a swap. If it's that we all bring something different, then we all share.

Now that restaurants have one bill per table, we come prepared. We bring a calculator, a notebook and a pen. We keep s running total, and all in our gorupl know we do this. Some take turns to pay for the whole bill by credit card and then we pay them - thus benefitting their points. Works for us.
