Lauzinaj also spelt lawzinaj, lawzinaq, luzina (Latin: losenges, lesynges) is an almond-based confection known from medieval Arab cuisine. Described as the "food of kings" and "supreme judge of all sweets", by the 13th-century lauzinaj had entered medieval European cuisine from the Andalusian influence, returning Crusaders and Latin translations of cookery books.
