Food & Drink

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?

As far the food is concerned, I usually bring a mix of food items, a few steaks, sausages, maybe chicken aswell. This way I can eat what I want of the food served.
With drinks, I usually drink what I bring, and/or what has been offered to me. I have been at parties, where certain people brought the cheapest plonk, but got drunk on the hard spirits others brought along, and at the end of the party, the cheap stuff was still sitting there in a corner un-touched.
When going out for dinner with a group, I prefere to pay for my own, as I chose my food according to what I can afford aswell as what I like to eat. As other people have other tastes, and budgets, splitting the bill may end up in you having to pay more then you budgeted for.
