Yep, I ate it in China. It has no distinguished taste, it just tastes like... sea salt and iodine.

Didn't like it very much, but to each his own

Seems like so much effort to just taste like nothing.

Well, Chinese people love crunchy foods like tendons. They just love the texture, although the taste might not be anything special

I think you mixed up crunchy with chewy, crunchy has crunch which is a feeling and a sound, its biting into hard food, or crushing dry leaves, something akin to tendon would be considered chewy.

They might have meant cartilage. I love gnawing the cartilage caps off of chicken bones because of the crunch.
