Build Your Own Buffet

So stroh's post about mac n' cheese at Hometown Buffet got me to thinking.
If there's mac & cheese at a buffet, I'll get it every time. Not necessarily with every plate, but during the eating session, I'll get mac & cheese at least once. Even if it's a crazy, 1,000 item buffet in Vegas where there's a boatload of things I want to try, I'll get some good old mac & cheese.
This has almost gotten me into trouble before. One time I was completely full at a buffet, then someone pointed out there was a soup section I completely missed. So I had to go and get a bowl of New England Clam Chowder. Bad idea. Came close to hurling, and no one likes a guy that hurls at a buffet.
So my question is, what 5 items are you pretty much guaranteed to get at any given buffet if they have it. Only things you've seen at a buffet before, nothing special like Grandma's classic coelacanth stuffed with manatee dish.
Here's mine, in no particular order:
- Alaskan King Crab Legs
- New England Clam Chowder
- Mac & Cheese
- Fried Chicken
- Raw Oysters

Is this the gentleman who ruined the buffet at the Harrow Club this morning?

You and Maddie would get on famously. When we go to the Chinese buffet that's all she wants to eat. |

In Key West that would take on a whole different meaning. |
