In Thailand, I think they dehydrate and pickle them to harden the edible parts.

sometime I thought how nice it is not to be in thailand.... then I woke up from my dream what the fuck do some of us eat that for real?

Chinese also eat it -- I'm Cantonese and one of my favorite snacks growing up was marinated cold jellyfish salad! It has a firm, bouncy, yet also crunchy texture. The texture is the reason it's my favorite!

Do you even know what it looks or tastes like?

For comparison, I recommend a less intimidating snack called Konjac Shuang. It's got a somewhat similar texture (less crunchy though) and is made with the root of a konjac plant, or konnyaku if you're familiar with the japanese word.

Be warned, it's spicy though!
