Say this to the waiter (Danish)
Jeg vil gerne have Rejer helt naturelle, med citron og dild. Hvis der følger mayonnaise med, skal den være uden sukker, eller server den venligst ved siden af.
I'd like the Rejer plain, with lemon and dill. If mayo is offered, please ensure it's sugar-free, or serve it on the side.
