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?

In the BBQ situation - It is mainly BYO and everyone tends to drink what they bought, our group of friends tend to always bring a bit extra incase but then everyone is expected to take home their own BYO that they did not drink. With our group of friends we all bring meat and a salad or equilent dish there of. We all tend to bring plenty so we all share everything and we all end up with a good variety of food. We also tend to take home our dishes whether they are empty or full so as to save the host washing up and no one is left with a ton of left overs as well. When I am hosting I like to make sure people take home their dishes full or empty otherwise you end up with plates and no one knows who they belong too.
AS for the restaruants - As for our group of friends we split the account as we know each other well and what goes around comes around and no oe tends to over order.

There will always be someone who will nt pull teir weight and take advantage of people but we seem to know who they are and they dont tend to be invited back a second time.
