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?

When we have a BBQ at our place we tell everyone not to bring anything & then if they insist perhaps just some nibbles, it's the same when we go to any of our friend's places. Although everyone seems to take their own drinks, although there is always wine here that we are only too happy to share & again the same when we go to other's place. As regards splitting the bill, we have 3 other couples that we go out with regularly (so a total of 8 of us), & some are vegetarians, some don't drink as much but everyone always just wants to split the bill evenly, it makes it easier & we are all happy to do that.
