Say this to the waiter (Slovenian)
Prosim, da je omaka zgoščena samo s smetano ali reducirana, brez moke, škroba ali sladkorja. Namesto ogljikohidratnih prilog želim sotirano keto zelenjavo.
Please confirm the sauce is thickened only with cream/reduction, no flour, starch or sugar. I'd like sautéed keto vegetables instead of high-carb sides.
