I think this has been done before but hey ho.
I think I could survive quite happily on;

Olive Oil
Garlic
Sea Salt
Pasta
A pack of mixed herb seeds so I could grow a selection.

I really, really wanted to fit in black peppercorns but as there's only 5 allowed I won't.

First I would make my own sea salt by letting the sun evaporate it in a palm leaf (that's saved me one )

Olive oil
onion
tomato
rice
pepper

Eggs are a good 'un but where's the salt? Empires and Civilisations were fought over in the name of salt. You simply must have it to bring out the flavour of grub!!
As you're a copper you probably get enough salt from your late night free takeaways but we're talking desert island here! No nipping down to Mustafa's Kebab Emporium for you chumley!

Yep - that's about what I'd go for but I'd take tinned tomatoes - which I don't actually like but they are so versatile (I would of course be making my own salt )

But how will I make my own wine? Bugger

Oh crap. I forgot my olive oil, and my balsamic vinegar!!! Right scrap the cheese and I'll take the oil.......

A selections of vegetable seeds that produce seeds for re-planting (including garlic) hehe... is that cheating?
Rice, I am not much of a fan or pasta
Pepper
oil
Tinned tomatoes to keep me going until my veg grows

And... as technically they aren't an ingredient, some live chickens for eggs or eating.

Wholemeal Pasta
Olive Oil
Tomatoes
Basil
Black Pepper

I would dry my own salt as suggested by a previous poster and I would find some way to catch my own tuna

I wouldn't need much because I'm sure that I would die of poisoning from trying the various indiginous plants with my pasta

Yeah yeah, get you lot with your olive oil and your tomatoes and your pasta. You'll all be hanging around me after a couple of days.

Salt
potatoes
oil
mayo
malboro lights

If I'm on a desert island, I may as well start smoking again and stuff my face with chips & mayo.

Water - you die without it
Chickens for eggs and to eat
A cow for milk and you can make butter if you have the equipment. You would need a cold cave to keep things fresh.
Seeds to grow veggies
Flour - make pancakes, unleaven bread

Matches/candles
Tinned food and an opener

You can tell I have done self catering
