Salami's alright, but we have many different types of sausage. Breadrolls with sausage is something you can eat anytime.

The Wikipedia link on German cuisine (which is very informative indeed) has already been quoted, so I'll restrict myself to the other things we eat. Most Germans are usually fond of international cuisine, with the Italian pizza and lasagna as all-time favorites, and the Turkish dÃ¶ner kebab being serious competition to the traditional German bratwurst. The Greek gyros also is very popular, and as to Asian food, there's Chinese, Thai, or Indian (where available). Oh, and I almost forgot the Spanish paella: Mallorca, an island belonging to Spain, is one of the Germans' favorite holiday resort, and paella is available here in almost every supermarket. -- There are restaurants from other nationalities, too, but few and mostly in larger cities. And of course, there is McD's, Burger King, KFC, Subways..., the whole lot.

Typically, Germans eat one warm meal a day, mostly at noon, and mostly with some sort of meat. Vegetarians may have trouble finding something suitable when forced to eat at a restaurant, although they're growing in number and restaurants adapt, slowly but surely, to that demand.

Breakfast usually is something like breadroll(s) with butter and sausage and/or butter and jam and/or butter an honey, tea or coffee. Breadroll can be replaced by toast or any assortment of bread. An egg or two are optional.

In the evening, customs vary. It is the traditional German belief that you should eat something light in the evening, but dining out or simply ordering a pizza is also popular. It also depends on local traditions.

Just a rough overview... -- You could write books on that topic, nd in fact, there are more than a few.

Breakfast (FrÃ¼hstÃ¼ck) commonly consists of bread, toast, and/or bread
rolls
with jam marmalade or honey, eggs, and
strong coffee or tea (milk, cocoa or juice for children).
Deli meats, such as ham, salted meats and salami, are also commonly eaten on bread in the morning, as are various cheeses. A variety of meat-based spreads such as Leberwurst (literally liver-sausage) are eaten during breakfast as well.

Traditionally, the main meal of the day has been lunch (Mittagessen), eaten around noon. Dinner (Abendessen or Abendbrot) was always a smaller meal, often consisting only of a variety of breads, meat or sausages, cheese and some kind of vegetables, similar to breakfast, or possibly sandwiches. However, in Germany, as in other parts of Europe, dining habits have changed over the last 50 years.

Today, many people eat only a small meal in the middle of the working day at work and enjoy a hot dinner in the evening at home with the whole family. This is also the reason why the availability of cheap restaurants close to the office or the existence of a factory canteen cannot be assumed automatically. So the traditional way of eating is still rather common, and not only in rural areas. Breakfast is still very popular and may be elaborated and extended on weekends, with friends invited as guests. Since the 1990s the Sunday brunch has also become common especially in city cafes.

Unlike the US Germany can choose from over 300 sorts of breads, rolls as well as from 1,500 different sorts of sausages. No country in this whole wide world offers more - and even salami has around 20 different sorts.
Besides all this we eat every normal food such as vegetables, salads, varieties of noodles and meats, fish. Food in Germany has lots of varieties.
But we don't eat dogs, cats and raw fish and things like that.

All things mentioned here are right. But there is also a big different between the regions in Germany as well. There is some food in North Germany the Bavarians have no Idea of and vis versa of course.
