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?

Play it by ear. If its a close group or family bbq then bring to share and eat what's been shared. In less comfortable bbq's look around to see what other people are doing, if it is a big bbq or party sometimes a small group will get together to cook then offer the food to everyone in the group. If you're are unsure just eat your own, but always bring more than just your share and always offer.
Going out to dinner is always great fun, but for me it is always a little uneasy at bill time. I think it's about time restaurants made it easy for each person to pay seperate! Would make the whole dining experience so much smoother! You've always got to pitch in more than what you ordered, it usually ends up that one person at least ends up paying much less. Take note restauranturs, start splitting the bill!
