Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte kein Brötchen, Kartoffelpüree oder Kartoffelsalat. Ist das Salatdressing zuckerfrei?
Please omit the bread roll, mashed potatoes, or potato salad. Is the salad dressing sugar-free?
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in some Leberkäse recipes (minimal but possible), salad dressing sugars. Ensure no flour or breadcrumbs are used in the Leberkäse itself (unlikely in authentic versions).
