How to make it keto
Explicitly request no bread, toast, or crackers. Confirm no added sugars in the pâté (unlikely for traditional but possible for commercial). Request keto-friendly accompaniments like gherkins, pearl onions (in vinegar, not sugar), and raw vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Graag zonder brood, toast of crackers. Bevestig dat de leverpastei geen toegevoegde suiker bevat. Met augurkjes, zilveruitjes (op azijn) en rauwkost.
Please, no bread, toast, or crackers. Confirm the pâté has no added sugar. Serve with gherkins, pearl onions (in vinegar), and raw vegetables.
