Fruit fly confusion!

I am totally repulsed by this and my skin is still crawling now but I am so confused as to what I found in my kitchen cupboard and wondered if anyone can shine any light on it!

In my corner kitchen cabinet I keep my pots, pans and chopping boards, everything is clean and tidy, I do not have a untidy house! I was away on holiday for a week and got back on Sunday but been in and out of that cupboard since and not noticed anything, in-fact I was in the cupboard only last night! Then this morning I went to put the dry pans away and noticed a few tiny flies flew out....when I looked I saw this brown lump of I don't know what in the cupboard and a fair few fruit flies in there 🤢🤢🤢!!!!

The cupboard has been emptied, bleached again and again, everything cleaned with anti bac washing up liquid.

My question is what on earth was the black/brown mass!! It was vile, had no smell or anything and didn't resemble food and I can't see how food would get in there! You could pick it up in one clump with kitchen roll. I don't store food anywhere near that cupboard, I live alone. Whatever it was contained lots of larvae....Any ideas! I could understand if it was supersmall and maybe could have been a good scrap from a chopping board or whatever but it was too big for that!
🤢🤢🤢 a day I'll never forget 😂😂😂

Did you definitely not store potatoes in there? A forgotten bag turned out to be the source of my fruit fly woes once.

Can't be potato without the rancid smell. 🤢

Nope absolutely nothing! Since I moved in in 2018 it's literally just had pots, pans and chopping board which is why I'm so baffled!!
