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?

Bill should be split evenly amongst the group- bbq should be eat what you can not what you bring, but in saying that you should be generous in what you bring. Eating out or dining with friends and family is meant to be social gathering and the exchange of company for enjoyment. If you people are so hard up and penny pincing that you need to count whether you got your share at a comunal dining out or gathering maybe you should have stayed at home. Remeber the sharing of food is one of the greatest gift to be exchanged in many cultures around the world, sit back and enjoy and share people don't be so tight and anal.
