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 was always taught by my parents to only eat your food or the equivalent when you go to a bbq where food is combined. eg. if you bring sausages then stick to sausages. If you take a salad then it's fine to try other peoples salads. I think another thing to keep in mind is the number of people you attend a bbq with as I have seen families with 5 kids turn up with one salad and then all pile their plates up as high as they can. Being a Mum of 3 kids with big appetities I always consider this when invited to bbqs and tend to bring more than is neccessary.
As far as eating out with a group, each should pay for only what they had to save any hard feelings
