Tinned Dog was a slang term for canned meat in Australia in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The expression was mostly used in the Western Australian goldfields where prospectors and diggers could spend weeks in the outback and relied on tinned food, which was convenient and filling although monotonous. Meals around a camp fire would be damper, tinned dog and billy tea, usually abbreviated to 'damper, dog and tea'. Even in the towns fresh food was a luxury and tinned food became a staple.
