Answer 2

I've seen references to this practice in several different cuisines but I don't know how common it is. In French cooking I've seen a few recipes that use blood from fish and birds (Heck-fire, they sometimes eat small birds live). I seem to recall reading about old Etruscan recipes that do this also. I've witnessed it in Hong Kong and Singapore and from what I recall it's also done in several Chinese salads.

Edit:

Masai tribespeople drink blood! How could I forget that.
