There isn't such a thing as a national food. this is because Germany has only been a country since the 1871s, when it unified. Before that it consisted of many different and separate states. So, the regions still have their own cultures and regional foods.
The traditional German cuisine is very multifaceted. Every region has it's own delicacies. A lot of people seem to associate things like sauerkraut, sauerbraten, spaetzle, etc. with Germany, but in fact you will find these dishes especially in the south of Germany (Bavaria, Baden-Wuerttemberg). In the North for instance they rather eat fish, in the eastern regions there are Prussian influences and so on.
But in common Germans eat a lot of meat, "Mett" or "Hackfleisch" (ground pork) is very popular, there are also various sorts of "Wurst" (products made of meat that you can put on bread). Also cheese is popular, there are a lot of different sorts too. At German parties you will mostly find cold or hot buffet, with different dishes of meat, salads, bread, cheese and dessert. Often there is also a hot soup such as "Hochzeitssuppe" (translated it`s "wedding soup", it's including noodles, meat, vegetables and "Eierstich" = little cubes made of eggs), potato soup, creamy soups, etc. Salads of potatos, noodles or rice are also very common. There are also lamination cakes and jarrads. The really traditional "Hausmannskost" (plain fare) is very solid and rich and will probably cause you a heart attack nowadays, but the people in former times were hard working farmers or miners and it's said that they needed that kind of food.
There are also a lot of vegetarians who often dislike the traditional German cuisine because of all the meat (even some sauces include meat extracts). Germans also like cake and torte, there are a lot of recipes.
There are many foods in Germany, such as, vegetables, fruit, and modern stuff but they make many different things around the world and cook it in many different ways. Some people may cook vegetables some may eat it raw. But that's how we know so many recipes.
