Food & Drink

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 suppose it all depends on how well you know them. I'm one for sharing with friends. If we have a BBQ/dinner at our place we always share as well as provide ample food for everyone. If going out to dinner depends on the company and type of food. If you go to chinese/asian for example we believe it's all about sharing the dishes. In regards to splitting the bill we usually split the bill evenly as it seems to work out in the end. Sometimes there are exceptions eg: someone doesn't drink. If we don't know the group very well we go with the flow and see what the majority want to do.
