(Which is probably why we haven't cooked one for a long time). Can't do anything about this one, but is there anything that can be done to get rid of the gamey flavour if we do…

Fresh bedding for a guest staying one night? Do I bother?
DS1 has a friend coming for one night and I said the friend could sleep in DS2 bed (rather than sofa) because DS2 is at uni. The sheets were fresh on before DS2 last came home and he's slept in them for 3 nights. They look clean, do I bother changing them for new ones for the guest?
