My father taught me much of the "fun facts" part of science. That includes the colors ice can be.

Fascinating! Ingesting uncooked foods can be very dangerous to humans. I have also partaken in customs that are foreign to me for the sake of forging relationships and furthering scholarly and scientific pursuits. I don't regret any of it.

"Fun facts". I like it. [Learning is fun! More people should be encouraged to do it wherever possible, and he is glad to see that this woman agrees.]

Yes, I have learned that. It is part of the reason I wanted to learn cooking, so that I did not ever serve my friends something that could harm them. I must admit that your biology seems particularly... vulnerable, and yet you seem to be a fairy adaptable-- [if not fragile, but he's not going to say that out loud] -- species. It is interesting.

So what are some foreign customs you have learned, then? Perhaps you can provide me with some... "fun facts".

Yes. It is thanks to him that I became so interested in science at a young age. He teaches children now at the museum where I work.

You are very thoughtful. I am certain every human you've interacted with is touched by your consideration of the biological differences between our species. I find I am quite fascinated by the minute amount I have gleaned of your species through this conversation alone.

[She frowns a little as she thinks.] I have partaken in a drink called bangh during a research trip in graduate school. It is made with a substance that is illegal in my home country. It would have been rude and disrespectful to refuse. It is not harmful unless consumed in excess -- much like alcohol, in fact -- so it was an enjoyable experience.

[That is actually quite tame, but it was the first thing to come to mind.]

I am also familiar with the general rules behind bowing in greeting in Japanese culture. I find it quite fascinating how the degree and timing of one's bow reflects one's social status in comparison to the person one is bowing to.
