Forgive a first time poster here but back when I was in culinary school one
of my classmates was from Hawaii. She and one of my Chef Instructors always
lamented over not being able to find a good place to get this one particular
dish from Hawaii, here on the continent. The name was something like

Spamomisubi (or something close)

Does this sound familiar to anyone and if so, can you point me in the
direction of a recipe/formula for it?

TIA

I used to enjoy the good ol' "Hawaiian Spamburger," but I don't think I'd
ever confuse it with a regional delicacy.
