Say this to the waiter (French)
Sans pommes de terre ni autres féculents, s'il vous plaît. Pourrais-je avoir des légumes verts non-féculents, cuits à la vapeur ou sautés, en plus?
No potatoes or other starchy sides, please. Could I have extra steamed or sautéed non-starchy green vegetables instead?
