So not like a dish like ice cream, which requires milk AND sugar AND maybe other things.
I nominate honey.

What is the best tasting single item / ingredient ?

Peanut butter...although not sure if that meets your criteria since multiple ingredients are needed to produce peanut butter. Ever way, still going with that as my answer lol.
Salt
Makes damn near everything taste better. Also keeps my primary care physician busy reminding me about my high blood pressure and how salt affects it.

There's really not much to choose from. It seems it has to be sugar, salt or like.. garlic. Onions maybe?
I kinda forgot that part, you ain't wrong. Let me leave in shame
We all know the correct answer.
The correct answer is: jamon iberico de bellota pata negra.
That stuff is freaking delicious.

The center bite of the center slice of a perfectly ripened, deep red watermelon at 11 am on August 18 immediately after running a 5-K.
It actually doesn’t. If you just mash peanuts into a paste, that’s PB. You don’t need other ingredients. The fact they put all sorts of sugar and fillers in PB is because you don’t buy natural or sugar free. That stuff is gross, real PB is amazingly better than Jif basic PB.
Whoever said sugar, gross. That’s the worst thing you can put in your body.
I’ll go with steak as well with @Get Bucket$
Hot sauce, the homemade Cajun hot sauce is the best imo 
IMO, steak without any seasoning or anything is very bland. Got to at least salt&pepper it.
bacon is an interesting one, because it's not bacon until it's salt-cured, right? Although I guess you could say that bout cheesecake, or ice cream or a lot of things. Bacon just seems more basic than those. And I do love bacon (for years thought someone should open a food truck where every dish, even dessert, has bacon in it).
Hater. If I had to only eat one thing I’d take just steak over fruit, veggies, etc. what would you pick?
Honey isn’t honey until flower nectar is mixed with a bunch of bee digestive enzymes, so honey is also a processed food. It’s just that the bees do the processing instead of humans.
Point being, if honey counts as an option here then so should other things that have minimal processing like bacon or olives (i.e., things made via basic curing). At least in my opinion.
My favorite single item foods are probably salt and then watermelon.
And watermelon is even better with salt, but that's neither here nor there.

Admit I'm not a big steak fan. It's not even in my top 6 meats (bacon, sausage, crab, ham, ribs, chicken).
I feel you and I don’t ever order steak out unless I’m at a legit steakhouse. I’m just saying if I had to survive on one food steak would be it, maybe even bison actually and if **** goes real south offal will work.
Cincy: Frisch's tartar sauce
Smells good, but tastes awful.
Homegrown tomatoes. I walk through my garden eatin them til I damn near get sick. Got about 8 different kind. Cherokee purple is my favorite. Can’t wait til they start ripening!
I'll stick with my original answer of lobster and crab legs but for a fruit there's nothing more tasty IMO than the pawpaw. Good luck finding them because their shelf life is incredibly short. 2 days, maybe 3. Farmer's markets or a neighbor's yard.

Lobster, crab, strawberries, grapes, oranges, walnuts,
Salt, while not completely tasty, you'd die without it.
