Yes, I meant what kinds. But why are they both the same when one is plural and the other is not? -- Because the speaker is asking the same question: s/he wants to know what's to eat and drink. The plural suggests that s/he's imaging several different possible items, while the singular suggests that's s/he's imaging an uncountable sort of 'food/drink'.
