16 month old still on purees. how do i transition?

[Russki]

Hi - I've a 15/16 month old baby, who is still eating purees as her main food. In addition, she eats yoghurts, raisins, toast, chunks of bread, biscuits, cake. I see her cousins, both her younger and older ones, devouring sausages, baked beans etc, but every time I try to introduce that kind of food, it gets chucked on the floor. If she tries it, she will screw up her face and go "yew." She even now refuses to eat banana despite having loved it at one time.
I think it hasn't been helped by having a very transitory lifestyle in recent months - we have moved countries, and for two months in the summer, were staying at parents, relatives, friends -- but now we are settled, i really want to sort this out.
I do try introducing new foods - such as slices of carrot, pieces of apple - but all gets rejected. I am a little worried that we will never (well not soon anyway) get past this stage. Needless to say, she rejects all meat. Even bacon!
Any advice for a slightly stressed-out mother would be most appreciated.

Oh OP. I was in your shoes once. It's horrible being the mum of the child that eats nothing when everyone else seems to have DC that gobble a full roast dinner and pudding.

I read a book called "my child won't eat" it really helped me to relax and realise DS wouldn't starve. Keep offering a variety of foods. It can take up to 20 tries before a child overcomes suspicion of a new foodstuff.

If you can, try and eat as a family. Children like to join in and mimic their parents.

The thing that really worked with DS was giving him his own fork.

Just keep your floors clean so you can return food to the high chair (or eat it yourself).

I used to give familiar foods for 2 meals a day and something new for one meal.

I'd say just take it slowly. She's had a lot of changes so is clinging to the familiar. Very simplistic answer, I know, sorry. But I do think patience is your friend here.
