Bitte die Knödel weglassen. Wenn die Soße mehlig gebunden ist, bitte keine Soße oder separat. Kann ich extra Sauerkraut haben?
Please omit the Knödel. If the gravy is flour-thickened, no gravy or on the side. May I have extra sauerkraut?
Watch out for
Flour-thickened gravy, potential sugar in red cabbage (if offered instead of or with sauerkraut), sugar in sauerkraut (less common, but possible).
