I may have a piece of cake or a pastry (dairy) when socializing at a gathering. On rare occasions I may have some seafood because I live in a coastal area where local fishermen and restaurants dominate and it feels like the thing to do when I'm out with friends. Sometimes I'll get a veggie dish that has oil if it's really appealing otherwise. The Korean stone garden comes to mind. I never eat meat, chicken, or pork.
It's the best I can do and still feel as though I can socialize with people in this envirionment without making them feel weird or making a federal case out of the food. I've been doing this for 5 years and have no fear of slipping or falling off the wagon as I'm no longer addicted to sad food and whenever I do break from the diet, I'm eager for my big salad, starches, and fruit the next day. And to be honest, I like the once in a while change of pace (mostly to get out of the kitchen and not to have to always bring my own food everywhere). We all do the best we can.
