will I be poisoned?!

I've just made four portions of a cous cous salad to have for my lunches this week but it suddenly occured to me that cous cous might be like rice - not to be left hanging around for fear of bugs.

The recipe was cous cous (covered in veg stock), chickpeas, cucumber, onion, orange segments and feta cheese. Does it sound safe enough to still be eating on thursday or should I try and finish it off a bit more quickly?

We were eating cous cous for a week after I made a ton for a party and had loads left over.

Blimey,I have this sort of thing in the fridge regularly and I ain't dead yet:D
I'm sure it'll be fine.Couscous is actually tiny beads of pasta rather than a grain like rice.

that's reassuring, thanks

and it's little bits of pasta...well I've learned something too! (bit worried about all the other things I eat that I don't really know what they are!)
