Say this to the waiter (German)
Sind die Frikadellen ohne Semmelbrösel? Bitte kein Kartoffelsalat oder Brot. Für den Salat, Öl-Essig-Dressing oder die Soße separat.
Could the Frikadellen be made without breadcrumbs, please? No potato salad or bread. For the side salad, oil and vinegar dressing, or dressing on the side.
Watch out for
Breadcrumbs used as a binder in the Frikadellen (can be a small amount but adds up if consuming many). Sweet salad dressings.
