Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Poprosím Spišskú Pochúťku. Žiadne zemiakové placky, halušky ani knedle, prosím. Je omáčka bez múky a pridaného cukru? A poprosím viac kyslej smotany.
I'd like the Spišská Pochúťka. No zemiakové placky, halušky, or knedle, please. Can you confirm the sauce is without flour and added sugar? And extra sour cream.
Watch out for
Flour/starch thickeners in the sauce, hidden sugars in tomato paste (if used) or cream, high carb traditional sides.
