Danish deli trainee Explanation: My suggestion, though it sounds terrible. A "sandwich trainee" doesn't cut it, either. The reader might wonder what kind of genious can really be needed to make a sandwich. Another option would be to throw in the word "technician" somewhere. A smørrebrødsjomfru is someone who has already "graduated" from the training stage. Good luck. |

cold kitchen trainee Explanation: Cold kitchen trainee This is just out of the top of my head, but it is a suggestion to start the ball rolling. Yes, a 'smørrebrødselev' is training to be a 'smørrebrødsjomfru' or sandwich maker. And when fully qualified, this person will in fact be an expert in a whole range of kitchen skills. Just think of all the fillings you need for Danish smørrebrød - and how to make them: Roasting the beef to the right stage of pinknesss Making the liver paté or leverpostej Knowing how to put a 'Dyrlægens natmad' together Breading and frying the fish for 'Sol over Gudhjem' and Stjerneskud - and arranging them Making the mayonnaise Etc. etc. Devising new and modern smørrebrød if you dare! Hygeine ... It is certainly not the same as clapping two pieces of bread round a slice of cheese and a lettuce leaf! These days you probably have to be able to put together all sorts of fillings in Ciabbattas, baguettes and pittas as well... Velbekomme! |

open-faced sandwich-maker trainee Explanation: It seems to me that smørrebrød are pretty routinely referred to as open-faced sandwiches. as for the difference between elev and jomfru. ... well I'm kind of surprised that the latter would still be used. |

student of Danish sandwich making Explanation: Just throwing in my two bits--I like all the answers here: open-face sandwich-maker trainee, cold-kitchen trainee, Danish deli trainee. The direct translations are also funny: buttered bread student and buttered bread virgin, lol. Student of Danish Sandwich Making if you want to give it a lofty title. Work hard enough and you can become a Virgin of Danish Sandwich Making. |
