In the mid sixties I was about 9 or ten, my mom and dad had a blind friend that would spend all of the major holidays at our house. One Thanksgiving he brought a can of fried silk worms. Thanksgiving morning I was so exited to get those worms opened and watch them eaten. “Frank, when are you going to open your worms” I asked over and over while my mom gave me dirty looks signing to me to stop. Well, frank had my mom open them and he relished each one as he commented how good they were. Later I heard about it from my mom, and as the years went by we’d laugh about our worm thanksgiving.
The “holes” on the chocolate is called bloom. There are two types, one from fat crystals and the other sugar crystals. Very normal occurrence and doesn’t mean it’s bad (rancid) yet, just chemistry of the ingredients changes as it ages.
The caterpillars looked like they had Easter grass in the container, with the wrapped caterpillars as Easter eggs. I would have cried if that was in my easter basket. 😆
My mom traveled a lot as a kid born in the 50s, and went all over the USA and I remember her telling me about these things and how my grandpa would like to eat the grasshoppers.
Unless the can is bulging from pressure from rotten food, the hiss you hear when opening the can is air getting sucked INTO the can. You're breaking the vacuum created by the canning process.
They're actually most likely silkworm pupae, not caterpillars at all. I guess it was made in Japan in a time when English wasn't widely used, so someone somewhere mistranslated them as caterpillars and nobody bothered to proofread it.
I'm really interested in knowing what these were used for, what the intended consumers were, and what the reception was here in the U.S. ... they are such exotic ingredients, I'd want to know what recipes/dishes they were used for!
These were imported for Asian markets/specialty stores and also health food stores in the USA and Canada. Reese imported foods from around the world for all the people from around the world that were arriving here during the 1940s-1960s. "A little taste of home" Reese Finer Foods are still in business today and their products are found at stores nationwide.
This recent push for us to eat bugs instead of actual meat is apparently not a new thing. Maybe they should take note that if it did t catch on decades ago, it’s a lost cause now. Speaking for myself, I’ll die before I’ll eat ANY insect.

Yeah, and it's so dry also because the caterpillar absorbed the moisture, as they were likely tried/baked prior to encapsulating.
It's most likely the cocoa butter and sugars coming to the surface of the chocolate
