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?

It often depends on who you are with. With close friends, whatever is at the bbq you can eat so long as you contributed something, but where I don't know the person so well I will only eat what I took along.
When out with a group at a restaurant, I much prefer to pay for what I ordered rounded up to the nearest $5 or $10, as someone else repiled don't be too pedantic because I usually don't eat too much and as a single parent I don't have a lot of spare money. I strongly object however, to people who split the cost and they have purchased an expensive bottle of wine and I had a coke because I had to drive home.
