I am pretty certain that the whole S'more string, however

interesting, was a mistake, given the character of the restaurant

from whose menu the query first arose. The dish in question was

probably some sort of sweetish, clove spiced SEMUR of Indian,

Malaysian, Singaporean, or Indonesian origin, not the gloppy graham

cracker sandwich dripping with chocolate and marshmallow.
