Eating animal blood is Okay especially if you are sure the food preparation is clean and safe and there is an expert chef. These are edible foods as approved by the Bureau of Foods and Drugs because they have tested it with their laboratories and procedures. One animal I will not eat is a monkey because its so human-like that its disgusting to eat it is like cannibalism. See underlined below that Early Christians approved of eating four-footed beasts of the Earth. Avoid eating two-footed beasts of the Earth which is the monkey family.
If there is a seeming contradiction in the doctrines, you read all of it so you understand what this is about.
As it is, Paul and Barnabas has a dispute with their new Church from the gentiles, a wild Olive tree because they still believe strongly in the law of Moses. Whereas in Acts 10, the disciples have eaten these food and found nothing wrong in it.
James offered a peaceful solution:
Acts 10
9 On the morrow, as they went on their journey, and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the housetop to pray about the sixth hour: 10 And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance, 11 And saw heaven opened, and a certain vessel descending upon him, as it had been a great sheet knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth: 12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.13 And there came a voice to him, Rise, Peter; kill, and eat. 14 But Peter said, Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 15 And the voice spake unto him again the second time, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
Acts 15https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+15
29 That ye abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication: from which if ye keep yourselves, ye shall do well. Fare ye well.

Acts 15So okay, your locality can abstain from these food cause you still believe in the law of Moses. The doctrines of Jesus is after the Spirit after all. Thing is do you trust Jesus? Its okay if you are just picky on foods but if your answer is because its from Moses' law then that is flawed reasoning.
