Thanks. I certainly used to have (but never used) a mandolin (same reason as you). No idea where it is! I’ll be passing TKMaxx later so will look out for a micro plane.
Do you have a micro plane grater or mandolin? If you don't I'd try a cheese grater on it. I just find a micro plane much sharper (finger grating warning assumed), thus making short work of it. A mandolin would too, but they scare me!!
TKMaxx would be my go-to for a decent, but cheap micro plane, if your curious. Their physical shape/size makes them easier to clean than a standard box grater.
We're I dealing with it, I'd likely grate either all of it, or a decent chunk and store the gratings in a clip to container. (Or even freeze it.) I don't want to be grating notionally every day, and I find it more satisfying grating a decent lump of anything (Parmesan excepted).

Yes! I have a microplane grater. Why didn’t I remember it? I actually bought it for chocolate too, so I could grate a single HC button on top of sf jelly& cream and pretend it was a trifle.
Hadn’t thought of looking in TKMaxx for different size microplanes though, I do need a couple of different size ‘grate holes’ but they are so expensive normally.
I never "got" TKMaxx, until our no-horse town got one, and now I love it for kitchen and shoe bargains. I've had a couple of surprise clothing items, but definitely more in the kitchen area.
Of course, the reason I probably "get it" now, is I can pop in and see something, or walk out again, if there's nothing for me, without any pre-built expectations, then disappointment.
BG later yesterday was 4.3 - how that happened I have no idea but anyway this morning FBG 6.5. Had a 3 egg, cheese omelette at about 11 am and that will have to last me all day.
This afternoon, I have to go out to be a substitute host for a prayer gathering in the chapel of our hospital in Stornoway - normal hostess is away visiting her family in England. I actually don't expect much of a turnout - weather is pretty foul and people just getting over Christmas. Or not getting over it; families at home etc. Still, I have to be there just in case. Sunday is the day the patients are brought down from the wards to a minister-led service. This is just for those who are visiting or mobile patients - usually visitors.
Then I have to go to try to get my old car going - it has broken down outside the Royal Mail sorting office - No 2 son was driving it. Charging the battery hasn't helped - alternator needs replacing really but something else has gone wrong, it won't even take a start from another car. No 1 son has a gadget which might make it start. If not, it might have to be towed to a nearby garage, or be scrapped. Pity if it has reached that stage, but it is 16 years old so I can't complain. I was already thinking it might not pass its MOT in January and was prepared to give up on it at that point. Might turn it into a hen shed, or dog kennel. Or a mini greenhouse - there's an idea. At least have to strip any good bits off of it (spare wheel, for example - never used and still a perfect tyre on it). Might sell it on for spares - must be worth about £50 anyway and that would deal with scrapping it, if that's the route to go down.
Who knows, I might feel like eating something else after all this. I'll try not to make it biscuits or suchlike if I do.
Agree about the shoes and kitchenware. I bought some Skechers in there recently - less than 1/2 price. I’ve only ever seen unsuitable ( for me) food in there though. I must look more closely.
I like the thought of your mini greenhouse! What an interesting idea, sorry your old jalopy is showing signs of giving up the ghost though.
Are you still feeling under the weather? A cheese omelette doesn’t seem like much food for the whole day.
