Depends on whether you want food poisoning

I only found out about that the other day though. And I had (previously) made a habit of leaving lots of rice out to cool for up to 24 hours, and then sometimes leaving it in the fridge for several days after that (to make rice you can fry properly, it has to be really cooled and dried out).

Rice is barely safe when left for half an hour, let alone a week. As a grain it is particularly susceptible to Botulism.

That said, I've eaten worse than week-old rice ...
