Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Is de vinaigrette suikervrij en op basis van olie en azijn? Zijn de augurken suikervrij? Geen brood of aardappelen, graag alleen koolhydraatarme groenten.
Is the vinaigrette sugar-free oil and vinegar? Are the gherkins sugar-free? No bread or potatoes, please, just low-carb vegetables.
