Mine would be the basic flour,sugar and stuff...but also:

rice
pasta
sauces
cream soups
tuna
canned veggies

seems like you can always do something w/these ingredients

These would be mine also. I would have to add pancake mix and syrup. When there's nothing left there's always pancakes! That and beans.

My biggest thing is baking stuff, I am always asked to bake cakes and pies, and it is always at the last minute.

I keep all the basics around, canned veggies, rice, baking stuff, etc. I would say cereal though, it's always nice to have cereal in the house!

rice
pasta
sauces
cream soups
tuna
canned veggies
flour
sugar
canned fruit
spices-not really stock pile, but I buy the big containers from Sam's club-gravy mixes, garlic powder, minced onions, etc-stuff I use a lot of.
Cake/cookie/muffins mixes-I prefer to make from scratch, but for spur of the moment guests, they are a life saver.
dry beans
tomato sauce/crushes/paste
