Say this to the waiter (Albanian)
Ju lutem, pa bukë ose salca me karbohidrate. A mund të bëhen Midhjet pa verë të bardhë, ose me pak e të avulluar mirë?
Please, no bread or high-carb sauces. Can the Midhje be made without white wine, or with very little, well-evaporated?
Watch out for
White wine (if not fully evaporated), potential for hidden sugars in complex sauces (rare for this simple dish).
