Pig blood with meat is a delicacy in my culture i had a bowel movement and my stool was dark brown can that be a reason? is dark brown stools normal?

Yes in your case: The color of the stool is influenced by what you eat. In the scenario you describe the bloody meet can be the reason for your stool's dark brown color (it is like having stomach bleeding) but you must make sure that the source of the dark color is not a bleeding ulcer in the stomach
