I was on holiday with friends and one had cooked a rice dish for dinner. There was some left over and she went to throw it out. I said, 'safe it for left overs tomorrow.'
She said 'you can't eat left over rice. It's not safe.'
My other friend said 'that's right, you have to eat it within 12 hours.'
They had both had a food safety course that covered this. They said it like everyone knows this.
I was astounded.

Do you realise that other parts of the world don't treat rice this way?
Do you think that people with rice-focused food cultures are throwing out all their left over rice every day?
I grew up in Hawaii. People buy rice in 10kg bags.
People make spam musabi to put in their lunch boxes or take to the beach and eat cold the next day.
Popular fried rice dishes are typically made with left over rice.
Rice cookers have a 'warm' setting that goes for up to ten hours.
