Best Answer

Tucker is old Australian slang for food. Food was carried in a tucker bag, as referred to in the national song, Waltzing Matilda. It comes from the early 19th century English slang word tuck which is in mainstream use in Commonwealth countries to describe school canteens as tuck shops and in the expression to tuck in, meaning to start eating.
