Say this to the waiter (Russian)
Ваш майонез без сахара? Если нет, то, пожалуйста, просто отварной язык с оливковым маслом и зеленью.
Is the mayonnaise sugar-free? If not, please serve plain boiled tongue with olive oil and herbs instead.
Watch out for
Sugar in commercial mayonnaise, any hidden binders in tongue preparation (unlikely but possible).
