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?

I feel that at a bbq it's free for all to a certain degree but then you can have some people that attend your bbq's that don't bring anything but pig out on what everyone else has brought which is not fair. With our family bbq's most times everyone brings a small salad, meat and their drinks it just depends on the occassion. Sometimes it's just meat and sald and drinks are provided. With dining out the bill should be either divided evenly if everyone ordered approximately the same or everyone pay for what they ordered individually. If the restraunt doesn't spilt bills then take mental note of how much your meal was and put that in plus your drinks.
