Same entry in Photius and elsewhere.
An opson (cf. omicron 1086, omicron 1087) is whatever adds flavour to a meal of plain bread or other carbohydrate staple (cheese, fish, herbs, olives, etc.), so their absence makes for dull eating.
The present headword is quite rare; attestations are largely in comedy.
