Both Food and Drink, in general terms, are uncountable, so following the rule, neither could be plural. Hope it�s useful!!

Both words definitely have plurals, but they are a little unusual in their use. Here are some examples: Our topic for today is "food and drink". There was plenty of food and drink at the party. The host served many different foods and drinks. The food of India is often very spicy. The foods of India are quite varied, because of the many cultures there. But we wouldn �t say "I have four different foods on my plate" (although it isn �t incorrect - just not common). Instead, it would be "I have four different food items on my plate". Bruce |
