English here. One of the few things I remember from my French lessons was a comic where one character said it «... et patati, et patata.»

That sounds like a cognate of the (American) English usage “potato, potato” (but pronounced poh-TAY-toe, poh-TAH-toe) to indicate the lack of distinction between two items that have been presented as different.
