Howdy all, found this oddity in the chicken stock after cooking down bones. The texture is rubbery and stretchy. Broke in half after pulling hard and is about an inch long.
Wife thinks it's some kind of worm or parasite. I'm of the opinion it's some ligament or connective tissue but I haven't seen this before either. No discernable "features" as far as any worm parts or anything. Cross section of part is homogenously white.
Any ideas? Trying to convince her it's just cooked protein no matter what but she's freaking.

Almost certain it’s just connective tissue. Worms would usually show segmentation, tapering, or some internal structure, not a smooth, homogeneous cross section.
Is it his Handle bar mustache?
Looks like the tendon bit from a drumstick
