4 food per grassland tile with 21 tiles is the starting point. You 
can actually get 5 with wheat, and there might be a banana railroad
in the jungle or something like that to reach 6.

But remember, these are set by the ruleset, and one is free to have
terrain effects that do wildly unreasonable things in special
scenarios.

Also remember, you can add food caravans to boost the food supply. 

So this makes it pretty much unlimited, and a max city size pretty
arbitrary. Try 64 (ok for normal games) or 256 (fits in a char) or 
anything else for whatever reasons you want to come up with.

Cheers,
