*OSMIZE*

**

Osmiza is a special licence once issued by the Austro-Hungarian empire 
to farmers, who, for a maximum of eight days (/osem /in Slovenian) could 
sell their produce without actually becoming a business concern (and 
thereby avoiding substantial fiscal pressure). These farms still open 
for a few days each year to the public, with their simple but appetizing 
menu of salami, ham covered in horseradish, cured ham, boiled eggs, 
omelettes, homemade bread and their own wine. When they open, the 
farmers indicate the way to their osmiza by hanging vine branches at the 
main crossroads in the uplands and then all along the road to lead you 
right into their farmyard.

Some popular osmize are the following (ring them before going to make 
sure that theyre open):
