Confirm no potatoes or rice are added to the stew. Inquire if flour is used as a thickener. Focus on the meat and cabbage.
Say this to the waiter (Bosnian)
Kupus sa Mesom bih. Ima li krompira ili riže unutra? Je li zgusnut brašnom?
Kupus sa Mesom, please. Are there potatoes or rice in it? Is it thickened with flour?
Watch out for
Flour thickeners, potatoes/rice, large quantity of onions (adds up), potential hidden sugars if using ready-made sauerkraut with sugar.
