Say this to the waiter (Danish)
Smør-citronsaucen skal være kun med smør, citron og evt. fond; uden mel, stivelse eller sukker. Kun asparges som tilbehør, ingen kartofler eller andre kulhydratrige ting, tak.
Lemon butter sauce strictly butter, lemon, and stock only; no flour, starch, or sugar. Only asparagus as a side, no potatoes or high-carb accompaniments.
Watch out for
Flour/starch in the sauce for thickening, high-carb traditional sides (e.g., potatoes, creamy potato salad).
