I say go with whatever meat you are already having. While I do have regard to sodium levels in foods, it's actually more beneficial that they are cut out of all of our diets, rather than just baby's (my DP should be on a low-salt diet as it is!).

I offered DD wholemeal bread as toast from early on. Another thing she loved was to hold and gnaw at a chop bone (very little meat left and the fat removed). She was like a puppy! I used to keep leftovers and reheat them the following day. She obviously wouldn't have very much, but if we had butter chicken with rice, then so did DD (for lunch, since her evening meals were earlier than ours). I always sat down and ate the same leftovers with her. And I would give her a spoon to hold/use (she learnt pretty quickly!) for things like yoghurt.
