MM, if we're gonna go your route, we should just adhere to the Four Basic Food Groups:
Sugar
Salt
Caffeine
and Grease.

Would Viagra count as a food in this circumstance??

Says ingredients, not food.

For a homebrewer like Malik?
You bet it does!

I've only got to three so far.....
1. Garlic
2. Pig
3. Cider
But then again, 3 might be enough!

Currently I'd say any 5 great Bordeaux will do.

Wouldn't need a Chardonnay. I'd need a good Cab, though.

Chardonnay is white and white wine is just for cooking :p
I meant great RED Bordeaux wines of course. Cabernet Sauvignon is the main variety for Bordeaux (along with Merlot and Cabernet Franc)

Ah, you were giving me a genus not a species. OK, all the reds with my meat would be fine. All I know about wine is that it has legs and I like a Cab with rare beef.

Covering your nutritional butt, eh?

I probably could have left the vitamins out since they're arguably not an ingredient, but yeah, I would rather have meat than even dessert. If I'd chosen something other than the vitamins it would have been salmon or blueberries.

Heh. I'd rather have dessert than just about anything else...

Heh...for survival purposes, living long enough to get to a nice bar/restaur.
Garlic or red pepper
Raw oats [and 2 stones in case I need flour]
Broccoli or Cauliflower
Fish
Cannola or Olive oil.
For dying happy:
What Z said, except I LIKE wild game flavor...so instead of ribeye: venison, moose, or ostrich
[not kidding either...much better than ordinary beef, pork, or fowl].

Ya know, I've actually had a lot of fun with this thread over the years- except that I pose the question as five spices. It's interesting because you can really do a lot with 5- even if salt and pepper are 2 of the choices. Plus. you can really tell a lot about a person's tastes by their choices. So aside from salt and pepper, what 5 spices (1 ingredient seasonings) would you choose?

Hey, how come I never saw this thread?
(And where's Infelice?)
Wow, ok...uh...ingredients
1. Beef
2. Potatoes
3. Salt
4. Red Wine
5. Butter
That'll do me.
As for spices...as long as I have salt, I can live without anything else.
I'm partial to cinnamon and nutmeg. (Are we differentiating between spices and herbs?)

Spices or also spice mixes like curry powder?
Do dried herbs or vegetables (ground chilli) count as spices?
I'd say:
Salt
Pepper
Cumin
Ground chilli/paprika/cayenne
Oregano
