"Osmizze" open during the Easter
festivities: The osmizza 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 "osmizza" 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 osmizza's location. You
may have wine, different kinds of hams, boiled eggs and cheeses. Check
those
open during this period: http://www.osmizze.net
