Say this to the waiter (Hungarian)
Kérem, a Tordai Pecsenyét krumpli nélkül szervírozzák. Kérek hozzá egy keto-barát köretet, és ne legyen rejtett cukor a szalonnában vagy a fűszerekben.
Please serve the Tordai Pecsenye without potatoes. I'd like a keto-friendly side and no hidden sugars in bacon or spices.

Potatoes, hidden sugars in bacon (check ingredients if store-bought), or in pre-made spice mixes often used in restaurants.
