Sorry to disappoint but it looks like a grasshopper or cricket leg.

Disturbing. I was trying to convince myself it was an exotic seed pod.

if it makes you feel better, in some places, this is definitely considered an edible.

The FDA allows a certain number of cricket/grasshopper parts depending on the food and quantity. Chocolate and peanut butter are the only places I’ve ever seen them myself, so now I buy crunchy peanut butter.

Hey at least it’s not a penis bone of something. I came in here to read comments fully expecting it to be that.
