agree  Natalia Bearden: Crunchy - немного более эмоционально о вкусе и хрусте на зубах, тогда как crispy - немного более "неразваренная и на вид не кашеобразная" :)

neutral  Rachel Douglas: I know the dictionary says "crispy" is a synonym of "crisp," but in cooking "crispy" often is a state achieved by cooking (like Chinese "crispy duck"), while what you want the cabbage to do is to "remain crisp."

crispy cabbage


Explanation:
I have read on the Internet that one should think of a "crispy" food item as something that has been made crisp either way by baking, frying or (such is our case!) by cooking.
