An osol twist was a Romulan confection that was said to be very tart.
In 2375, Romulan Senator Cretak suggested that Kira Nerys try an osol twist when she had remarked that jumja sticks were too sweet for her liking. (DS9: "Image in the Sand")
In the Star Trek: Enterprise - The Romulan War novel Beneath the Raptor's Wing, Tal Shiar operative T'Luadh enjoys some osol twists during a meeting with Admiral Valdore. Valdore himself dislikes the food believing them to be too sour. Despite this, his servants often left "heaps" of them out for his guests to enjoy.
