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?

On the BBQ front, we normally eat what we bring, but most of the time it ends up in a group situation so its all put together.
I usually judge that situation when we get there. If the host is only cooking enough for his own family then I ensure that I advise
my kids what we have taken so they don't go chowing down on someones marinated steak.
If out to dinner, I take an estimate of what my/our meal / drinks costs plus a portion towards the breads and round it off to the nearest dollar, none of this counting out change stuff to ensure I only pay the right amount...Usually if everyone does the same we end up with a tad extra for a tip, but only if the service is good...and thats usually done by a general consensus around the group
