Say this to the waiter (Arabic)
نقانق المرقاز، هل هي بدون حشوات أو سكر مضاف؟ لو سمحت، أريدها مع سلطة خضراء أو خضار غير نشوية بدلاً من البطاطس المقلية أو الخبز.
Are the Merguez Sausages made without fillers or added sugar? Please serve with a green salad or non-starchy vegetables instead of fries or bread.
Watch out for
Some commercial sausages can contain fillers or starches, but authentic Merguez typically does not. Harissa itself is low carb. Always confirm with the restaurant about ingredients.
