Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Bez halušiek, prosím. Je to pripravené bez múky a cukru? Môžem k tomu viac slaninky alebo uhoriek?
No halušky, please. Is it made without flour or sugar? Can I have extra bacon or pickles?
Watch out for
Hidden starches in bryndza (some cheaper versions might have potato starch fillers), onion garnish, any potential sugary seasoning on bacon. Bryndza can be naturally higher in carbs than other cheeses.
