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?

I find it extremely weird that you invite people to your home and expect them to bring anything at all ( save for flowers, chocolates or a bottle of wine like good manners prescribe).
Going out is a different matter, every person/couple/family should pay for what they consumed plus a little extra for a tip. Not fair for the vegetarians or the non drinkers or the people on a budget that know exactly how much they can spend.
