What was Micheal Emerson actually eating with the Lost Boys?

There is a scene in the Lost Boys cave where David(Keifer Sutherland) and/or the Lost Boys play a prank on Micheal(Jason Patric) while they were eating out of Chinese take out boxes. The contents of Micheals box toggled between being noodles and being maggots. What was the actual food in the boxes? Were they eating Chinese take out, or were the vampires all eating maggots and making Micheal think it was Chinese food?
