German term or phrase: Manches haben Sie schon gegessen, aber noch nicht alles gesehen
Same context as before. You may have eaten a few different things (in your time) but you haven't seen everything yet.
The idea is that this company is always going to come up with something different.

My first thought was "you ain't seen nothing yet", but your readership may not like this very American language

agree  Ken Cox: or 'Even if you're an experienced gourmet, we can show you something new' (may fit the register better, but it's not sufficiently different to warrant a separate answer)

neutral  Ken Cox: Yeah, it's fun to cast this in vernacular: 'you may have eaten around a lot, but you haven't seen it all' (I'd love to see the client's reaction!)

Explanation:
I'm not sure of the exact context, but it feels as though it wants to be short and snappy rather than long and wordy. And I'm not very impressed with "gesehen" in the German - surely the point is that you are going to eat it, not just look at it :-)
