Ensure no breadcrumbs are used in the stuffing or as a binder. Request no carb-heavy sides like potatoes or rice; ask for a side of grilled/steamed non-starchy vegetables (e.g., broccoli, green beans, zucchini) with butter.
Say this to the waiter (Bulgarian)
За Вешалица-та, моля без галета. Вместо картофи/ориз, бих искал гарнитура от зеленчуци на скара или пара с масло.
For the Вешалица, please ensure no breadcrumbs are used. I'd like it with grilled or steamed non-starchy vegetables with butter instead of potatoes or rice.
Watch out for
Hidden breadcrumbs in stuffing, flour-based sauces, high-carb side dishes (potatoes, rice).
