BY TOBY RAINEY
For those of us who live to eat,
having afternoon tea at the new
Walton Cafe is like dying and going
to heaven.
The sour milk scones are made
from a 150-year-old Scots recipe
handed down from generation to
generation, the home-made jams
and marmalades glow like jewels
on the white china, and only a fool
would attempt to describe the first
taste of the double-clotted Devon
cream which is the piece de
resistance of the entire experience.
Ah, ecstasy!
And if the day is not too busy and
the gods are smiling, you may just
be fortunate enough to share the
entire experience with the creator
of this culinary masterpiece, Car
man Klaus, whose quicksilver
personality and love of life shine
through in every move she makes
and in every word she utters.
The hamlet of Walton may seem
an unlikely place to find an eatery
of such excellence, but it hasn’t
taken long for the cafe’s reputation
to spread far and wide. Open only
since the first of October, the traffic
to and from the small building on
the main street is already so heavy
at times that Mrs. Klaus says
‘ * sometimes I get scared it is going
too fast, and I just want to yell * slow
down’!’’
She doesn’t mean it, of course.
BevCardiffofRR4, Brussels works
with Mrs. Klaus at the busiest
times in the cafe, and a second
employee is soon to be hired to cope
with the everyday trade, which is,
as Mrs. Klaus says, intended to
“cater to the working man.”’
Because as glorious as afternoon
tea may be (‘ ^byreservation only”)
the backbone of the operation is the
hearty lunches and light meals that
are also the specialties of the
house, with every mouthful as
good as if it had come straight from
a farmhouse kitchen. All dishes are
prepared in full view, and only the
best and freshest ingredients are
used in the creation of meals that
would make a strong man cry.
Stockpot soups, stews and chilis,
all made “from scratch” are the
mainstays of the menu, as are the
hearty sandwiches on fresh-daily
Kaiser buns (specially made for
Mrs. Klaus by Todd’s Bakery in
Brussels). For dessert there is
fresh fruit, old-fashioned bread
pudding just like mother used to
make and sinfully rich cheesecakes
and fruitcakes, along with fresh-
brewed coffee, Earl Grey tea, and
fine herbal teas.
Another unique service offered
by the cafe is the “lunch pail
special,” in which the staff will
pack a full-course lunch for passing
truckers and others who don’t have
time for a sit-down meal; some
local drivers already check in every
day for the best “home-made”
lunch box fare in the county!
Mrs. Klaus also has a special
liking for senior citizens, whom she
calls “elderlies,” and hopes that
over the next few months she will
find the time to organize special
afternoon teas for groups from
surrounding communities, maybe
even from local retirement homes,
who could come to the cafe as part
of an afternoon outing, and maybe
even enjoy a guest speaker or
entertainment while they sip their
tea and nibble hot scones.
But busy as all this keeps Mrs.
Klaus and her staff, the cafe is only
part of the venture newly establish
ed in the village. The other part of
the business is handled at the same
location under the name “Mont-
carty Nutrition Centre, ’ ’ where
Mrs. Klaus practices reflexology,
iridology and deep-muscle therapy
and dispenses herbal remedies
and natural vitamins, all part of the
fast-growing and ancient science
