Soo… 50*11=550 years? How was cooking in the 1470s. Any spices besides salt and pepper?

    I think fifty eleven just means 61. Like how in French they call 70 "sixty-ten"

    Is this a Get Low, “I done been to this club bout fifty eleven times” reference?

    Well I'll be damned. Here I was trying to be all mysterious and poignant, and you just flip it all upside down. I grew up - during the 90's - with a language in which we say "fifty eleven" to mean "a lot". I would never have guessed that it is NOT a piece of slang native to my language.

    It sounds like you are going to tell us how did you bake for Leonardo DiCaprio in the Titanic.

    The only time I ever watched Titanic was when I was being bullied and tormented by my first love, so I have erased all memories of it. What's the reference/scene? 😅
