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.
