[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Your friendly microbiologist here. NO. DO NOT serve week-old meat from another event, that's been left out once and exposed to bacteria - you would be going against all best food practices. You can knock yourself out by eating it yourself at home, because you decide if you want to get sick or not. Do not impose this on others. [/quote] Dumb question here... is the bacteria because it was exposed to lots of people or would it be just as bad if it had been left out on the counter of an empty house?[/quote] It’s not dumb - it’s from the time near room temperature. Refrigeration slows down the growth of potentially harmful bacteria. Cooking mostly kills them. The main “danger zone” is 40-140F. Obviously that’s a very blunt tool to use for different foods and situations but the OP’s question is way outside the bounds for anyone and is a definite no. [/quote]
