I am thinking about making myself something delicious. Not celebrating with anyone this eve but curious what everyone else will be eating.

there are millions of French words that get mangled by English speakers every day. Just speak French instead. And gratin does not rhyme with Don or Dan

Thanks for using your knowledge to tell us what it doesn't rhyme with.

Super helpful or as they say in France apparently, 'just speak french instead'.

There is no equivalent in English. French has something like 20 different vowel sounds while English has 5.
