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 was brought up to believe that if you invite friends for a bbq, then you should supply the food and soft drinks but notify guests to bring their own beer, wine or spirits. I have never reqested anyone bring their own food if I have invited them, however, in saying this I have never had a bbq where my friends have expected me to provide everything and they have still brought along a plate of nibblies, salads or desert. I am grateful for the offerings but do not expect it.
As far as dinning out. I believe that everyone should pay for their own meals unless it is a banquet.
cheers all.
