Curious is that some Noldor embraced the new culture and some did not. Other Noldor like Turgon and perhaps Finrod as well (hard to tell, I might be wrong) cling to the culture of their home.
But half of the Feanorian's lived similar the Sindar and are mentioned to have mingled with them. That Amrod and Amras build a fortress in Amon Ereb, the place Denethor died and was buried. So at least some Nandor must have gotten friendly with the Noldor.
The Feanorian's having no explicit king, could have helped. [Recognizing Fingolfin is not the same as calling him their king] It is said that the Nandor never had a King after Denethor (or at least not in the First Age).
Food culture is also a great subject. I just don't know enough about it, but I would guess some Noldor never ate meat before? Or at least didn't learn how to prepare it. In cultures like the Sindar it's common to use (and eat) every part of the animal. Food could be sparse, especially with Orc's running around in every corner.
