Subsequent to R Micha's query:
Rashi's first comment [Devarim 12:16] - even though zeriqas hadam is no
longer applicable it is nevertheless prohibited from consumption.
This clearly implies that we would, without the passuk telling us otherwise,
argue that the blood is Muttar for consumption.

R' Micha makes a great observation: that entertaining such a thought
suggests that Dam of regular beasts, Chullin, is prohibited because it is
too sacred for people.
