Are 1 and 2 the same meaning? 3 has a different meaning. Thanks, Fulvio
1. Have you ever eaten Pekin duck?
2. Have you eaten Pekin duck?
3. Have you eaten the steak?

Yes, 1 and 2 mean basically the same. The added "ever" is just an intensifier (you are underlining the emotional side of the question). It could be surprise, wonder, disbelief--whatever the emotion.
