EN: to share a meal with; to join in eating
This is the verb form of a 'boodle fight' or any group lunch. When your office mate says 'Kain tayo!' and you pull your chair over to their desk to share their baon, that's 'saluhan'. It's the core of Filipino hospitality: there's always room for one more at the table, even if it means just adding more rice.
From `salo`, meaning 'to share' (often food). The suffix `-han` denotes a collective or reciprocal action.
Almost exclusively used in the context of eating together.
