Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Njeguški Steak bih grilovan, bez pohovanja. Da li je fil/sos bez brašna ili skroba? Može li zelena salata kao prilog?
I'd like the Njeguški Steak grilled, unbreaded. Please confirm no flour or starch is used in the stuffing or sauce. Can I have a green salad as a side?
Watch out for
The traditional preparation involves breading; potential flour in sauces; hidden sugars in lower quality prosciutto (less common with authentic Njeguški).
