How to make it keto
Absolutely critical: request "bez halušiek" (without potato dumplings). Ask for extra crispy bacon and a side of steamed non-starchy vegetables (e.g., broccoli, cauliflower, green beans) to replace the traditional carb-heavy side.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Bryndza prosím absolútne bez halušiek. Namiesto nich poprosím extra chrumkavú slaninku a varenú neškrobovú zeleninu.
For the Bryndza, absolutely no halušky. Can I have extra crispy bacon and a side of steamed non-starchy vegetables instead?
Watch out for
The potato dumplings (halušky) are the main carb, which must be omitted. Ensure no hidden sugars in the bacon or accompanying vegetables (e.g., a sweet glaze on vegetables).
