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 the case of eating out for dinner with mates, i think it depends on first of all , where your eating at, and second how expensive your meal is. For instance, if your meal was valued at say $10, then you wouldn't really want to have to pay $70 just coz someone else ordered a really expensive meal!!!!
As with the case of the BBQ, as it is a more relaxed situation, you could probably get away with eating as much as you liked, that is assuming that it is over catered for of course. So if there's a lot of food, eat your fill, if there is just enough to go around, then only eat your share.
That being said, I would be inclined to follow suit of what the majority of people are doing, so if they're all stuffing themselves, why not? If they're all splitting the bill then why not chip in???
Over and out...
