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?

Agree with those who suggest generally eating what you take, or the same amount. But find it hard to believe that many people actually worry too much about who is eating what. I find it a bit anti-social if people merely cook whatever they bring - would rather that everything is pooled and shared.
Sharing the bill at a restaurant would depend on what specific arrangements have been made at the outset. What's a few dollars one way or the other between friends?
