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 dont think it is ok to eat steak if you only brought sausages If you are told to bring what you would eat. Unless there was prior arragements with the parties. " you get the sausages and i'll get steak / chops" - that to me its ok.
What really bothers me is when Chicken is on the BBQ - for people who dont eat red meat. A friend brings her own chicken or if someone is having a BBQ they will purchase some chicken. It's not on offer for everyone just to have chicken, when normally they would be happy just to eat sausages.
As for Resturants i think it should be pay for your own, there is nothing worse than going out with a group of people who have expensive tastes in wine and food, or have a big appite, when you are happy to have an entre serve because your not too well off.
