Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Kapustnicu poprosím úplne bez zemiakov, sliviek a bez zahustenia múkou. Nech je slaná, nie sladká.
For the Kapustnica, absolutely no zemiaky, slivky, or flour thickeners. I'd like it savory, not sweet.
Watch out for
Potatoes, plums, flour thickeners, hidden sugar in some recipes to balance sauerkraut's tartness.
