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?

At a bbq, eat the equivalent of what you've brought, but we always endeavour to bring more than necessary so that we are free to have a bit of everything on offer. We do have friends however, who come with the cheapest cuts of meat, and then tuck into eveything else except what they've bought, which we all find quite rude.
This is the same principle as bringing over a bottle of wine and sharing it at the table, rather than the host keeping it for themselves and serving a bottle of cheaper or already opened wine.
Eating out, pay for your own meal. We usually eat in large groups (10+) and everyone puts the approximate of what their meal cost and the leftover money we leave as a tip for the waiter.
