Found this in a jar of pasta sauce.

Anybody want to hazard a guess what it is? I feel a bit sick

Yeah.....that'll be your basic eggsac

Could be worth a non if it's a truffle
But how likely is it that a real actual truffle would find its way into the Dolmio factory?

Ewww looks like mould possibly

*Bob not non

Whatever it is, it looks repulsive. Presumably you'll contact the manufacturer and let them know in case there are other jars in the same batch with equally bizarre contents?

Yeah.....that'll be your basic eggsac

It does not look good.

That is properly yuk.

@bellropes

Yeah.....that'll be your basic eggsac

Oh god, what if it hatches?

It looks like a load of black olives stuck together.

@joystir59

Yes, if you cut it open, do it outside.

Reverse image search comes up with this.

Ew, David!

Spider eggs...

Just looking at that reverse image search... not sure how obsidian would wind up in a sauce jar

Chopped up capers?

@freecuthbert I know! I thought that too.

This is the underside. It has a firm jelly/rubbery texture.

Frog spawn

@GeorgeandHarold66

The last photo is the end of a wooden spoon for scale.

But how big is the wooden spoon? Could you take a photo of the spoon next to a kiwi fruit, for the sake of science?

Yeah that looks like a healthy growth of mould to me

A mouldy artichoke heart?

It looks like solidified mould to me

That pic of the underside reminds me of a sun dried tomato. Maybe it’s one of those with some tomato seeds stuck on it?

Yes, please do this. You really should contact the manufacturer to let them know as other jars could be affected too and they'll need to do a product recall, or at least put a warning out.
