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?

As I get older, and more financially stable, I don't ever question the fact that we should split the bill evenly unless I am eating out with people that I know have less disposable income. in that case I usually try and cover more of the bill. If I am out with someone I don't know as well, work colleague for example, then usually we will pay for what we actually had.
When you are at someone's house, I think the host should make it clear what the expectation is regarding food. That way no one feels weird or uncomfortable and everyone can just relax and have a good time! We usually take way too much food anyway, and it ends up in the doggy dish for his dinner!
