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?

Sorry... hit the wrong button accidentally again! I really should type this up in Word to start with, then cut & paste. I'll start again :
I reckon these matters of organization should be agreed upon before starting out or at least come to a consensus before eating, bearing in mind the "social norms" of the majority &/or the hosts / hostesses. This will vary greatly amongst different peoples & regions. In Rural Australia, for example, many of those who bring prepared dishes feel quite chuffed to see you really enjoying their dish & coming up for seconds.
