Request no Spätzle or potatoes. Ask for creamed spinach, green beans, or broccoli as a side. Inquire about the gravy; if flour-thickened, request pan drippings only or skip.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Bitte keine Spätzle oder Kartoffeln. Gerne Rahmspinat, grüne Bohnen oder Brokkoli als Beilage. Ist die Soße mehlgebunden? Wenn ja, nur Bratenfond, keine Soße.
No Spätzle or potatoes, please. I'd like creamed spinach, green beans, or broccoli as a side. Is the gravy flour-thickened? If so, just drippings, no gravy.
