Say this to the waiter (Finnish)
Saanko ilman perunoita, juureksia ja jauholla suurustettua kastiketta? Lisukkeeksi runsaasti vihreitä kasviksia, voi- tai öljykypsennettynä.
No potatoes, roasted root vegetables, or flour-thickened gravy, please. I'd like a generous portion of green vegetables cooked in butter or oil.
Watch out for
Traditional high-carb side dishes (potatoes, root vegetables), flour-thickened gravies or sauces, marinades containing sugar.
