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?

Well a bbq with friends, if I invite anyone over for a bbq I believe as part of the invitation I am not saying please come over but bring you own food. If famiily budget is a little tight buy the food accordingly but I woud be offended if Iheld a bbq and people bought their own meat. Should the bbq in a park or the like then this is different, either the meal is divided up on what you bring overwise I would only eat what I bought and would feel extremely uncomfortable eating other peoples, in saying this I would definitely offer any additional food I had to others.
With eating out in a group I like the idea of evenly splitting the bill however I usually take the kids(only one eats) and I always like to give some extra for the additional head, also when dining with family out we have now started a deal where once every six months or so we all go out, one couple chooses the place to go and also pays the bill. This is a nice way of appreciating each other.
