.............. kettle!
Yup! I have no idea how long it's been there but it was still fairly intact alhough obviously boiled.
Now - putting aside my initial feelings of Oh yuk! and squeamliness, and calming myself with the thought that it had been well and truly boiled, along with anything else it had, I then became rather perplexed.
My kettle is a fairly cheapy plastic affair from the supermarket beginning with T - it's a cord-free, has a filter, a dinky blue light and a small lid on the top, which is why I hadn't noticed the extra protein inside.
When I fill it, just press the litttle button, lid pops up, pour in water from filter jug, pop down lid and turn on.
Once that lid is down, it covers completely the top of the filter section, so that it is impossible for a fly to get inside - no holes in the filter either, so no way into that kettle unless the lid is open - and it's only open when I pour in water.
Water filter container has lid that automatially closes over so nothing can get inside there either.
Occasionally I check the kettle because even using filtered water, it's so hard here that sometimes the calcium does build up at the bottom and then breaks off, so I give it a good rinse out.
So I don't think it's been in there for very long - but it's still a mystery.
And what it was doing in there when it got poached???? probably doggy paddle like they all do.
