it looks very much like a rabbits cecal dropping , but im sure that would be impossible to have gotten into a jar of sauce !

HelpPlsArhhgg · 29/04/2021 22:05

Op seriously pls tell me first letter of the brand pls otherwise i can’t eat my lunch 😮😮

TiltTopTable · 29/04/2021 22:05

Oh wow that looks gross, no idea what it could be... are you going to reach out to the company? or contact them even, or are you a member of The Four Tops?

GeorgeandHarold66 · 29/04/2021 22:05

@Laiste

OP has gone! Gone i tell you! We'll never know the brand.

The underside looks like the 'foot' of a snail.

Or a sun-dried ear.

Still here, it hasn't woken up and eaten me yet!!

Not sure about the legality of naming the brand though, will I end up on the Mumsnet naughty step?

DH says he is pretty sure it is a lump of mould.

Jenasaurus · 29/04/2021 22:16

dried tomato and spider eggs on top

MindTheBumps · 29/04/2021 22:16

I second the sootkin prediction. I read the whole thread just to say that!

stupidstupider · 29/04/2021 22:21

And this, dear reader, is why you should always try the 'pop' on the top of the jar - if it pops, air/water has got in and the respiration of 'mould' may be happening.

Sunshinesandice · 29/04/2021 22:22

A pile

DIshedUp · 29/04/2021 22:27

Is it some sort of tomato plant gall? Or diseased tomato that got in the sauce. I really want to cut it in half

Its very welldefined for just mould, what did the rest of the sauce look like?

SeaTurtles92 · 29/04/2021 22:28

It looks like horse fly eggs.

Jenasaurus · 29/04/2021 22:30

Actualy could it be a sweetcorn style dog or similar animal poop! A dried poop with a face, yep thats it for sure, Without giving the brand...doesn it begin with D

LifeinPieces21 · 29/04/2021 22:31

I hate clumps or small holes and this has made me feel sick.

It would have freaked me out and yes I am dramatic about this kind of thing

Jenasaurus · 29/04/2021 22:32

Years ago we found what looked like walnut whips in our hotel room on a nature reserve in Bulgaria, that was until the spiders hatched out of them and then we found the mum (presume she had eaten the dad as was very fat and alone)

LifeinPieces21 · 29/04/2021 22:32

I don't think I'll read the whole thread and suggestions even though I really want to know what it is.

Couchbettato · 29/04/2021 22:33

Well I'm curious. Really want to know what they say it is.
