Say this to the waiter (German)
Mein Keto Kalbsschnitzel bitte ohne Panade. Und die Sauce ohne Mehlbindung. Dazu hätte ich gerne grüne Bohnen oder Brokkoli statt der Beilagen.
My Keto Kalbsschnitzel: no breading, please. Ensure no flour in the sauce. I'd like green beans or broccoli instead of traditional sides.
Watch out for
Flour used for dredging/breading the schnitzel, flour used as a thickener in the sauce, high-carb side dishes (pasta, potatoes, rice). Hidden sugar in some pre-made broths.
