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?

At a bbq or similar I would generally always bring something that is good quality (no cheap sausages) and would expect to be able to have a little bit of everything. This tends to be how things work with our group fo friends. As for drinks the generally rule is that you only drink what you brought unless someone offers you a drink.
As for eating out I am happy to split the bill if I am eating out in a small group. Whe it is a bigger group I would generally roughly calculate what my share of the bills is and then add a couple of dollars - this ensures that the person paying the bill doesn't get left to pay any excess if there isn't enough money in the hat. I find that this is generally how it is done, unless everyine has eaten roughly the same thing in which case the bill is just split evenly.
