Say this to the waiter (Serbian)
Za Pljeskavicu, molim vas bez lepinje i bez ajvara. Želim je sa seckanim lukom, salatom od krastavaca ili grilovanim povrćem sa malo ugljenih hidrata.
For the Pljeskavica, please no lepinja or ajvar. I'd like fresh chopped onions, cucumber salad, or grilled low-carb vegetables as a side.
Watch out for
Always served with bread. Pre-made meat mixes might contain fillers or sugar. Ajvar can contain sugar.
