Key ingredients
Pork, mushrooms, onions, paprika, heavy cream, chicken/beef broth, oil/lard, salt, pepper.

Omit potato pancakes (zemiakové placky) or dumplings. Ensure the sauce is thickened with cream reduction or minimal starch, not flour (zápražka). Request a side of pickles or non-starchy steamed vegetables.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Bez zemiakových placiek a knedlíkov. Je omáčka bez zápražky? Poprosím k tomu uhorky alebo varenú zeleninu.
No zemiakové placky or dumplings. Is the sauce without flour? I'd like pickles or steamed vegetables.
Watch out for
Flour/starch used as a thickener in the sauce, hidden sugars in paprika paste or commercial broth, high-carb traditional sides.
