Say this to the waiter (Maltese)
Jekk jogħġbok, mingħajr croutons jew dressing biz-zokkor. Il-ġbejniet nixtieqhom sempliċi, mhux panurati.
Please ensure no croutons, sugary dressing, or breaded ġbejniet. I'd like plain ġbejniet.

Tomatoes in large quantities can add up, hidden sugars in commercial dressings (confirm simple oil/vinegar).
