I guess you are talking about crispy fried silkworms, the larvae. During the process of collecting silk from the coocons, they got the dead worms and think of a way to cook the worms as food. I heard that it's a very rich in protein. I have tried it once in China, to me, it was tasteless but just crispy, the "food" looked like white coffee beans (bigger than coffee bean in size).
You can't find this "food" in your country may be because you don't have silk industry there and not many people there like you want to order this food in restaurants.

I'm East Asian and I've never even heard about this before. Are you sure it was worms?
Because I'm fairly certain that they don't eat worms. Maybe it was a baby eel or snails/escargo- they look similar.
