Actually, no. Blood is a Germanic word as "food" is and they were written with the same vowel in their origin (blōd vs fōda), they're pronounced with the same vowel in languages with similar words (like Swedish), it was just some freak accident that I can't really precise what it was or when it was (although I can say it was after Medieval times).
