Say this to the waiter (Albanian)
Ju lutem sigurohuni pa bukë thërrime në djathë. E dua pa bukë ose shoqërues të tjerë me karbohidrate të larta.
Please ensure no breading on the cheese. I'd like this without bread or other high-carb accompaniments.

Potential breading for cheese to achieve extra crispiness. Ensure only cheese, eggs, and fat are used.
