What happens at the Store?
Many have said that upon entering the best pirate supply store in San Francisco, they get a sensation of déjà vu. Others walk in and feel at once the miracle work of an unseen hand. Yet there are those whose eyes bulge and shrink simultaneously while their thoughts are so convoluted that they are unable to shout or mutter the question that most plagues them: “What is this place?”
The store log is weekly account of actual events that occur in the shop, as well as testimonials, comments and complaints from our customers.

“Untapped Market”
We recently received this letter, and are charmed that the writer took the time to define white pudding but assumed that the meaning of clootie dumpling is universal.
Ahoy.
It’s a pity there’s no pirate supply store in Scotland. It would be a perfect place: surrounded by the sea, blessed with blustery weather, and rich in curious uses for lard.
When I lived in Glasgow I discovered one could buy bricks of “white fat” in the grocery store, presumably for use in white pudding (lard, rice, raisins, cream, and various other ingredients pushed into sausage casings) or clootie dumplings. You should consider a franchise, if pirates were wont to do such a thing.
Och aye,
Katy
