I wouldn't eat it myself..I am fairly 'liberal' with food and how long it's
been there in the fridge, but a week is far too long to keep cooked food
for..Also the food loses it's flavour as well, and develops a taste to it I
dislike... IMO I would leave it (under the best of conditions) no longer
than 3 days at the most..
