Say this to the waiter (French)
Pour le Magret, sans sauce à l'orange ni aucune autre sauce sucrée. Je souhaiterais des légumes verts juste poêlés au beurre, sans pommes de terre ni purées.
For the Magret de Canard, no orange sauce or any other sweet sauce. Could I have plain, butter-sautéed green vegetables, no potatoes or purées?
Watch out for
Sweet fruit sauces or glazes, mashed potatoes, potato gratin, or other starchy accompaniments.
