Say this to the waiter (Dutch)
Is de Madeirasaus zonder bloem gebonden en suikervrij? Graag alleen keto-vriendelijke groenten, geen aardappelen of rijst.
Is the Madeira sauce thickened without flour and sugar-free? I'd like only keto-friendly vegetables, no potatoes or rice.
Watch out for
Flour/starch thickeners in sauce, sugar in Madeira wine (minimal carb from wine itself acceptable for small serving), high-carb root vegetables in broth (can be filtered), starchy side dishes.
