Say this to the waiter (Estonian)
Palun tehke hautis ilma kartulite ja tärkliserikaste juurviljadeta. Porgandi korral palun vähe või üldse mitte. Palun ärge lisage suhkrut.
No potatoes or starchy root vegetables. If carrots, minimal or omit. No added sugar, please.
Watch out for
Potatoes are a very common addition to stews. Larger quantities of carrots or other root vegetables can increase carb count. Always confirm no hidden sugars in the broth or seasoning.
