How to make it keto

Say this to the waiter (Hungarian)
Tepertőkrémet kérek, de feltétlenül fehér kenyér nélkül. Van hozzá zellerszár vagy uborkaszelet?
Tepertőkrém, please, but strictly without the white bread. Do you have celery sticks or cucumber slices?
Watch out for
Always served with substantial amounts of bread. The raw onion content, while not extremely high, can add some carbs.
