Say this to the waiter (Croatian)
Molim Teleće Kotlete na Žaru. Bez marinada sa šećerom. Bez škrobnih priloga poput krumpira, riže ili tjestenine. Možete li donijeti zelenu salatu ili grilano keto povrće?
I'd like the Teleći Kotleti na Žaru. Please, no marinades with sugar. No starchy sides like potatoes or pasta. Can I have a green salad or grilled keto vegetables?
Watch out for
Marinades could contain sugar, though traditionally veal is grilled simply. Main risk is the accompanying high-carb sides or sauces (e.g., demi-glace which might be thickened with flour).
