Can you eat a lemon meringue pie that has been in the refrigerator for four days?

Sugar is a preservative. The acid in the lemon is a preservative. Both of those should prevent the growth of bacteria. It is not like potato salad. Potato salad contains mayonnaise. Nothing in the either the potatoes nor the mayonnaise has anything to prevent bacterial growth after the potatoes have been cooked and the mayonnaise removed from the refrigerator. People go to church picnics. The salad sits in the hot car while they are in church. It sits on the table while everything is prepared. Meanwhile botulism bacteria grows and puts out poison. People eat the delicious potato salad. Some get sick. Others die. It is best not to leave stuff out all night. If you are going to leave stuff out all night it is best to leave stuff out when it is cold and to leave out high acid foods with lots of sugar.
