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?

I feel most comfortable only eating what I brought to a BBQ. If the host has provided salad or potato bake, I would indulge though. Often I just get half a dozen chicken kebabs because they are easy to cook and eat outdoors. Bring your own grog but you can share an esky with somebody else. If at the end of the cooking there is food leftover and the cook declares that everybody can help themselves, then I might indulge in that too.
I definately feel most comfortable with everybody paying for EXACTLY what they ordered, and don't forget corkage fees need to be added too. You rarely find that everybody has the same tastes or financial status in a large group.
