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 always find the bbq situation difficult and usually just have what I have brought, if no other instructions are forthcoming. I think it is bordering on the unacceptable to ask people over and then expect them to just eat what they have provided - might as well eat at home, but I do know people who just "bog" in. When we bbq, its easier to provide the meat and ask guests to bring a salad and a bottle of wine to share.
The bill should be split evenly when dining out with a group. Though, how difficult would it be for restaurants to take seperate orders for couples? Surely they can stop being so ....... and consider group situations.
