 Lunches at conferences are hellish because
  1. Many people in one room plus people waiting in line and people moving
  2. Food that tastes odd in ways I can't describe. Why do roasted root vegetables always taste like that???
  3. Eating without the people you know so you eat at a table with absolute strangers that I'm sure are lovely but I'm so nervous about points 1 and 2 that I can't conversation

The roasted root vegetables are probably because they were roasted in very generic vegetable oil. The only thing you really know about that is the specific viscosity and the alleged vegetable origins.
