Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Poprosím bez chleba a zemiakových halušiek. Môžem dostať namiesto toho stonkový zeler, uhorku alebo papriku?
No bread or potato dumplings, please. Can I have some celery, cucumber, or bell pepper sticks instead?
Watch out for
Bread or potato dumplings are almost always served; some pre-packaged Bryndza products might contain a small amount of starch, but pure bryndza is naturally low-carb.
