Either:

Break it in a spice-grinding bowl with the spice-grinder, put a piece in each cheek and let your saliva soften them until tooth-friendly. Eat. Continue until it's all been eaten.

Or, dunk a bit of one into a (hot) drink to soften it. Nibble off the soft bit and carry on until it's all been eaten.

Or, plop it whole into a soup or stew as the thickener.
