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 feel that if you go to a friend's house for a BBQ you eat what you bought with you, that's how it normally works for us, although if it is a BBQ all the sausages get kind of split between all as most of us bring a snag and a steak. As far as salads etc.. goes normally we all bring a salad of some sort or dessert and that is a free for all. Everyone takes their own alcohol and it is all good. As far as going out for dinner with friends this can sometimes be awkward we normally split it evenly if everyone has had similar i.e. entree and main. It works even better if the restaurant is BYO as some people can order more drinks than others at licenced restaurants and it is not fair for the drivers etc..
