Meat. The best options are probably lobster/shrimp/crawfish or some kind of smoked/cured pork. Bacon can work, but you really need thick cut real bacon like Wrights. I think a decent Canadian bacon is the best (I dunno if it's typically hickory smoked but the one option at my local grocery is and that's really good). Pancetta and Guanciale can work too, but at least in the US they both tend to be 2x the cost of even high end bacon and generally not as good.
