No, my concerns are based more on "if I don't like them, I can't tell
whether they taste good" and not wanting to send out food that isn't tasty.

I like the cabbage idea - I think I might make cabbage, beets and cucumbers,
in separate batches, and serve them all together - it'd be a pretty color
medley.
