hi,中文 means Chinese language, 中国 china, 菜 dish or cuisine.So should say 吃中国菜，but 吃中文，吃中国 doesn't share this meaning.

It's not true.
中国is a country name，just like America，Japan， so吃中国 ＝eat America ，so it's not true
中文is a language name ，just like English，so吃中文＝eat English，so it's not true
中国菜is true，中国菜is Chinese food ，so吃中国菜＝eat American food ，is true

Of course no!中文means Chinese，the language of China.中国 means China，the name of the country.中国菜 means Chinese food.So you can only say吃中国菜。

No, 中文 and 中国 can not be eaten. They are totally wrong. 吃中国菜 is the proper way to say " eat Chinese food "
