Distasteful...!!!

Aarav has turned 6 months and now its time for me to introduce semi-solids to him. For the past 6 months, I was impatiently waiting for this day when I would be giving lots of varieties of food to him. However, I did not imagine that it would be a pretty tough task, not because he is not accepting the semi-solids, but because I am confused about what different varieties of food should I prepare for him. Initially I gave him clear fluids and was surprised to find that Aarav enjoyed it a lot. But now its time for semi-solids and I find myself thinking about the menu everyday. Though I know that a 6-months baby would have no more than 5-6 spoons, but still preparing even that much keeps your mind busy all the time, especially when you have to think about new varieties in order to develop your little one's interest in foods. So today I thought to give some change to Aarav, afterall he must be bored of Cerelac and Apple puree for the past few days. Today, I had enthusiastically prepared mashed potatoes with fresh coriander, believing that he will surely love it. But all my excitement ended when I saw him making as worst face as possible at the very first morsel. I could not find the reason why he did not like it as I tasted the same first and found it not quite bad. The only other reason could be there was no salt or any other tastemaker in the potato puree which sounds a bit distasteful I agree, but salt/sugar is unadvisable for infants till they turn 1 year. Seems, Aarav is going to be quite specific about his food choices once he grows up. However, my sweetheart did not let my efforts go to waste completely. He had atleast 6-7 tiny morsels of the puree (though with a bad expression on the face each time) and this gave me a chance to know how his body adapts to potatoes and coriander. After all, he is in his testing phase. This is how he looked when he was having his food today :-
