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?

It is only good manners to only eat what you brought, UNLESS someone offers you some of theirs. Bit of a no brainer that one! I am a sheep farmer so BBQ's at our place are plenty of home grown spring lamb chops. If hosting, I would provide all the meat and request people bring a salad and/or sweets TO SHARE.
In regards to eating out, I think it is less hassle to split the bill evenly. If you've had a nice night out catching up with friends who cares about spending an extra few dollars subsidising some-one else gluttony?
