"Osmize" open during the Easter festivities: The osmiza is a private farm house, typical of the Carso area, where farmers open their doors and serve their home made food and wines for a few weeks a year. The term "osmiza" derives form the slovene language "osem" which means "eight" and dates back to the times when the region was under Austrian rule: farmers had to ask for a special licence to sell there products for "8 days". If you are in the Carso you may notice hand-made wooden signs with a branch of leaves (called "frasche") indicating the direction of the osmiza's location. You may have wine, different kinds of hams, boiled eggs and cheeses. Check those open during this period:  http://www.osmize.net
