How to make it keto
Request no potatoes, roasted root vegetables (carrots, parsnips), or gravy made with flour/starch. Opt for green vegetables or a side salad with a simple oil and vinegar dressing.
Say this to the waiter (Finnish)
Saanko ilman perunoita, juureksia ja jauholla suurustettua kastiketta? Lisukkeeksi vihreitä kasviksia tai salaatti öljy-etikkakastikkeella.
No potatoes, roasted root vegetables, or flour-thickened gravy, please. I'd like green vegetables or a side salad with oil and vinegar dressing.
Watch out for
Traditional high-carb side dishes (potatoes, root vegetables), flour-thickened gravies, marinades with added sugar.
