How to make it keto
CRITICAL: Omit all traditional high-carb sides such as potato dumplings (Knödel), boiled potatoes (Salzkartoffeln), or spätzle. Inquire about the gravy; it's often thickened with flour/starch and may contain sugar. Request gravy on the side or ask for a naturally thickened version if possible, or omit. Pickles can contain sugar.
Say this to the waiter (German)
