Gheeg

A method of preserving and storing food used by many Bipods. The Gheeg is a mix of water, sugar, protein and fat protected by a hard watertight shell. Creatures use the gheegs for feeding their you and caching for latter. For example, wild and domestic Ghats produce these to feed their young on their long daytime migration and they burry the extras. As they return in the night they dig them up and eat them.
