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?

The best barbie is," I'll cook you dinner bring yourselves and your drinks".
For those "FRIENDS" that bring sausages and request steak, I hope they enjoyed their one and only invitation.
Bringing cheep cuts and drinks and scabbing the best cuts and drinks is nothing short intentionaly ripping off your host and blatant thievery from your friends.
If I invited some friends out for dinner, the bill is mine to look after. If i was invited out I would expect that we would split the bill equally, If the host offered to pick up the bill I would understand.
If dining with aquaintences or collegues you should roughly round up the cost of your meal to the nearest ten dollar and present that to the organiser of the group. If someone is being a tight ass this additional money may cover the short fall and if the organiser ends up with a cheap feed good luck to them, hopfully they will arrange more outings.
