I wouldnt worry and would try the baby led approach.

I wouldn't worry about meat at this stage. If he likes the sweeter stuff, that's OK, get him used to the experience of being fed: fruit puree with baby rice etc. Then maybe in a week or two try sweeter veg like carrot, sweet potato, butternut squash, and keep trying him with less obvious veg, or combining them with the stuff you know he likes.
Good finger foods: really soft steamed green beans, soft steamed carrot, little bits of cheese
It will all go on the floor at first, of course

Don't worry Lorenzosasha - my son did not seem to like anything except banana for ages - he was about 10 months old before he showed interest in solids and has only just recently (13 months) replaced all day time milk with meals.

As others have said, try the baby led weaning approach. Give him suitabel foods and let him play with it - see what he does.

Good luck!
