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 Continued on page 24 SUPER SAVINGS POWER BILT GRAND SLAMS 11 PC.
