Basically if you imagine what a farmer living at the base of the alps would eat thats German food.

In the big picture you're talking a food culture where the bread is very good and stuff you'd put on bread (cheese, various cold cuts, mustard) are also very good. So people eat that a lot. You'd have that for breakfast, maybe have a hot meal for lunch, then could likely have bread and good stuff on top of it for dinner as well.

The whole sauerkraut and wurst thing is the result of how a northern culture survives the winter without getting rabbit starvation or scurvy. Unfortunately it's such a good combo that it ended up defining the cuisine as much as brotzeit and schnitzel.

When Germans actually bother to cook their traditional cuisine beyond those things the results are often surprisingly good. It's meat heavy, but they do stews and roasts very well. The also do sauces as well and the French and gravies as well as the English. You'll also find composed salads with buttermilk/yogurt herb dressing that's basically the grandfather of ranch. The cuisine is informed by Vienna next door having been a huge cultural center in the 19th and early 20th Century, so the quality of the desserts and general refinement of the dishes can be very high. Also a border with France that has shifted back and forth over the years adds to that refinement.

They do beer very well, but favor lighter styles. Same is true of wine, but it tends to be a touch sweet for the current fashion. Fruit brandies are often excellent, such as apple schnaps and pear brandy (Williams). It is a drinking culture.

It is good, though the stuff exists out of past necessity - a way to get some fiber and vitamin C into you during the months when no crops can be grown. Cabbage is nutritious, and fermenting it allows what you harvest to last you the winter. It just turns out that fermented cabbage is a good foil for fatty meat, especially pork. It's a popular combination not just in Germany, but in Poland, France, China and Korea. It's a good combination.

So much bullshit in this thread. The average German eats sauerkraut probably once or twice a month, maybe even less. And pork knuckles isn't typical German food either, that's eaten maybe once or twice a year when going out. Schnitzel and roasts, stews and goulash, lots of potatoes but also noodles and dumplings, root vegetables, cabbage and mushrooms make the bulk of traditional German cooking.

Yes, that's obvious.
You don't eat massive amounts of it unless you happen to like it a lot, it's good though. It's an extremely nutritious way to preserve vegetables for the winter but it also happens to be tasty, though it's not going to appeal to someone who grew up on cheese burgers and HFCS.
