The singer was living with (and dating) a girl in Newfoundland and he looked in the cupboard to find pickled moose meat next to a can of beans. It inspired him to write the song. He's said this both in interviews and as a pre-song story on stage.

Its more specifically a Newfoundland reference,
The "I'se the b'y" lyric (as it should be written) is from the song titled I'se the b'y, a Newfoundland folk song.
Bonvista (place in Newfoundland)
Screech me (Screeh is a Newfoundland run, Screech me is well,.... just google that one)
Moose meat,... Anywho, I looked these guys up and it says they are from Toronto. Why the Newfoundland referencing?! Where's the connection, anyone?!
