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?

In my case, i would either be catering for all or if we have bring a plate, it is with the idea that everyone one brings equal so we can share without there being any issue. It is an upfront discussion to save any embarrassment. For example, we have an 'orphan's christmas' and the person who's house it is delegates to all invitees specific tasks whether it be a dessert or salad or ice etc.
When eating out in a large group, we tend to book somewhere that does banquets, that way it is all the same price and everyone chips in for drinks. If it is a la carte the question is asked what people wish to do and then follow that.
