Kamayan is a Filipino cultural term for the various occasions or contexts in which pagkakamay (Tagalog: "[eating] with the hands") is practiced,^[1]^[2] including as part of communal feasting (called salu-salo in Tagalog).^[3]^[4]^[5] Such feasts traditionally served the food on large leaves such as banana or breadfruit spread on a table, with the diners eating from their own plates.^[6]^[7] The practice is also known as kinamot or kinamut in Visayan languages.^{[citation needed]}

While kamayan started out as a common folkway before the arrival of European colonizers, its culturally significance has become elevated in the Philippines' postcolonial culture, since the practice of pagkakamay had been discouraged by the Philippines' Spanish and American colonizers.^[8]

A separate^[8]^[9] tradition which involves eating with the hands straight off the table is the boodle fight, a tradition of the Armed Forces of the Philippines originally practiced by Philippine Military Academy cadets,^[10] and drawn from a similar tradition at the United States Military Academy West Point.^[8] The intent is to build military camaraderie by getting military personnel to enjoy the same food together, regardless of rank.^[10]

Among restaurants outside of the Philippines, however, the term "boodle fight" has often been conflated with "kamayan" and "salo-salo," and the terms tend to be used synonymously when marketing the Filipino food experience.^[9]^[11]^[12]
