Lucanica
Lucanica was a short, fat, rustic pork sausage in Ancient Roman cuisine.
Apicius documents it as a spicy, smoked beef or pork sausage originally from Lucania;[1] according to Cicero and Martial, it was brought by Roman troops or slaves from Lucania.[2][3]
It has given its name to a variety of sausages (fresh, cured, and smoked) in Mediterranean cuisine and its colonial offshoots, including:
- Italian luganega or lucanica
- Portuguese and Brazilian linguiça
- Bulgarian lukanka or loukanka
- Macedonian (Western dialects) lukanec/луканец or lukanci/луканци
- Greek loukaniko, a fresh sausage usually flavored with orange peel
- Spanish, Latin American, and Philippine longaniza, a name which covers both fresh and cured sausages
- Arabic laqāniq, naqāniq, or maqāniq, made of mutton and some semolina[4][5]
