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 BELIEVE THAT MOST OF THESE PEOPLE THAT HAVE ANSWERED ARE SPLITTING HAIRS. IF IT IS FAMILY OR FRIENDS, WHO CARES WHO EATS WHAT. YOU ARE THERE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME AND SOCIALISE. IF YOU ARE GOING TO WATCH AND MAKE SURE THAT YOU COUNT HOW MANY DOLLARS EVERYBODY EATS THEN DON'T BOTHER GOING. IT IS NOT RUDE, IT IS CALLED SHARING. HAS EVERYBODY TAKEN A GREEDY PILL AND DECIDED THAT A STEAK IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN FUN AND LAUGHTER? SAME WITH THE BILL WHEN EATING OUT. SPLIT IT AND HAVE A GREAT TIME. ONE DAY WE ARE ALL GOING TO BE DUST SO LETS ENJOY THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE WE LOVE. I HAVE 6 KIDS (10 MONTHS TO 10 YEARS) AND I AM SETTING AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE TO PLACE YOUR PRIORITIES. THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT THAN WHO ATE THE STEAK. GROW UP AND DON'T BE SO CHILDISH.
