While yea, bacon is nearly universal in its appeal, that one seems on the mark. Alas, bologna as the seal of disapproval might fall a bit short. While one might jump to proffer spam in its place, Hawai'ians quite like spam, leaving us all in a bit of a quandry. Olive loaf, perhaps? And while salame is a most excellent meat, perhaps fois gras more aptly conveys the aboutness of not giving a damn about one's approval or lack thereof.

I'm vegan now, but having eaten it as a child, may I suggest chicken
livers for the Seal of Disapproval? Blech!  And, as a vegan, I'd
stretch bounds of the Seal of No Approval Needed to tempeh.  That
seems appropriate.

Fwiw...
