The place is obviously Italy and onion rings don't exist there (believe it or not!)
That's calamari.

Jeez, I feel an anxiety attack coming on just thinking about trying to balance a plate, purse strap+lanyard=choking, awkward conversation where you try your best to avoid answering "so what do you do?", etc. Nightmares, indeed!

I don't know if I'm alone in this paper plate standing situation, but somehow I always end up attempting the awkward "maybe I can use my leg as a 'table' if I lean up against something?"

Duff in Venice: lunch at academic conferences is always awkward; lanyards and paper plates make it worse. And don't forget the glass which you are obliged to hold in the same hand as your plate, while talking awkwardly with your peers.

i prefer the "lanyard hanging out the pocket" look. i remember a time when they all read WWJD.

the plates are not real -- they are just the "high quality" plastic plates that you can get at CostCo and other such fine venues. they have a nice gloss to them and look real-ish but are definitely plastic. we had the same ones at our wedding. probably bought them from the same CostCo, if it is in Boston.

I did a geeky thing and looked up HIAT09 and found it was this

11th International Conference on HEAVY ION ACCELERATOR TECHNOLOGY.

It's Venice and some of the pictures showed lttle fish, so yeah, those fried rings could be calamari.

I can't think what's up with the pacifier/dummy either.

Just, what on earth?

Was he hoping any girls would think it was cute? Or does he need it for when he falls asleep at the back of the conference hall?

The guy on the right in the last picture has a pacifier dangling from his lanyard. A rave inspired academic conference?

First of all, this could be /any/ academic conference... ever, they are all that bad.

And secondly, (to kale) people not-from-the-us have a hard time knowing food protocols.

I've seen people eat corn on the cob with a fork before.

Eating onion rings with a fork?
