The Sergeant Majorette says

My Dad used to bring home K-rats in the Fifties (he worked for the 
Army after discharge) because we kids liked the bitter chocolate 
inside. I get the impression that MREs (Meals Rejected by Ethiopia) 
[I kind of liked the dried meat patty crumbled into the applesauce] 
and C-Rations (canned scrambled eggs? I rest my case) are normal 
field rations and K-rations are more like LRPs (Long Range Patrol) 
rations in that they are way less palatable and more concentrated and 
easily portable.

I could be wrong about that, however, and will cheerfully stand 
corrected if anybody has better information.
