At one time, it was a sin (or at least discouraged) to eat meat that had been sacrificed to idols, per Acts 15. But, Paul (I Cor 8) saya that the eating was not a sin because the idols represented no god; there there was nothing wrong in eating the meat. So something happened between Acts 15 and when Paul wrote. Right? Acts 15 says to abstain; Paul says that per se it is a non issue.

Even that would not have changed anything for Jesus and the apostles prior to Christ’s death and resurrection. Jesus and the apostles were all Jews and bound under the Old Testament laws. The included God’s command NOT to eat blood even of the sacrifice.
