I was boiling some eggs to make hard boiled eggs. When I went to check on them while they were boiling, there was a clump of dark grey/black strands that seems to be coming out of a crack in the egg. The clump was about 1 inch in diameter. Like a clump of grassy, stringy strands. What on earth was this?
I asked Chatgpt and it said these were strands of cooked proteins. It gave a scientific description of what could have caused this. It provided photos but none matched what I saw. It eventually produced an illustration which is almost exactly like what I saw but was this generated just from my description?. I will try to attach the illustration but be warned, it is gross and I feel sick thinking about it!
I have never seen this in 40 years of boiling eggs. Can anyone help or explain? Thanks
