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?

As a teenager, my friends and i have many BBQ's believe it or not (its not all just takeaway). What we do is we organise who will be eating with us and how hungry we all are. As we all have part time jobs, if we buy 20-30 sausages, 2 loafs of bread, a few onions and some chips and drinks, then the total cost each is not that much. I think if your going to have a BBQ, organise what people should bring and what not, and just have a big gathering in which everyone shares. The best environment is when its a friendly environment and when we are not worrying about a dollar or 2 extra for this person because he had a steak.
As for dinner though, if you go to an expensive restaurant, there is nothing worst than when you have a light easy salad costing only $10-$15 and your mate across from you ordering a lobster for $50, and then having to split the bill at the end. I think if its basically the same, within say $10 then dont worry about it, but if it is a huge different then the perosn with the highest amount should OFFER at leats to pay extra.
