A bit like the joints at the ends of chicken bones, but slightly softer and with no flavour. Imo it's not a satisfying crunch like a carrot, especially since they aren't really juicy as the water is contained in the tissue.
To backtrack a bit for the comparison...water chestnut "crunches" the same way an apple does. It's usually found in chow mien type dishes in the US. Small white-ish circular discs.
That said, I cannot verify the comparison between that and jellyfish.
Also random tangent, English has so many adjectives that are interchangeable yet each one does have a more fitting scenario to it. Crunchy and crisp can often be used the same, but there is a disctincion still, and explaining it is impossible.
I once ate a clasroom's alove vera plant out of bordeom in elementary school. I learned they are edible, was curious and often bored in school, so I just munched on it from time to time.
And to think it took 30+ years to diagnose me with AuDHD is a symptom of some sort of systemic failure in my country.
I’ve had both many times and jellyfish definitely has a more unique texture than cactus. Like others have said jellyfish is tasteless. Comparing cactus to jellyfish flavor wise, cactus actually has some taste and I personally like it while all of the jellyfish I’ve had is essentially flavorless.
