avocado on bread was always a hit with DD at that age! most of the time they just suck the avvy off anyway LOL!
otherwise, like another poster mentioned just bring up some sweet potato/pumpkin/apples etc etc and mash away.
rafferty's is also a BIG hit here...even now that DD is 2 years old LOL!
i vote with Barb though and reckon this could be a lovely opportunity to transition bubs towards sharing the foods you guys eat! we did this with DD (about 10 months too) when we travelled interstate...we arrived late-ish one night and headed to a thai restaurant. ordered some coconut rice for her, but in the end she screamed blue murder until we gave her our chilli bean curd LOL! never looked back!

Jas, the latest food guidelines suggest that in families without a high allergy risk, it is best not to avoid "high allergy" foods beyond the introduction of solids at 6 months. So eggs are actually ok at that age unless there is a known allergy, or a family history of allergy (in which case it is usually still recommended that it be given early, but with medical supervision).
The only things really that are not appropriate under 12 months are honey (risk of botulism) and whole nuts (for the choking risk).
Eggs are super convenient for for babies - scrambled eggs done in the microwave are almost instant food for starving (read sqawking!) mouths. I feed my 9 month old lots of egg foods with absolutely no dramas - she loves it!
And I really would feed your baby whatever you're having. Its so much easier!
Take some watermelon if it is going to be hot as this will cool down, feed and water at the same time in a hurry while you are getting the food ready. My youngest hasn't got any teeth and is not one yet but still eats everything we do (unless it is fish with small bones etc). Sweet potato (or any other veg) roasted and then cooled makes a great finger food and can be prepared in advance.
He enjoyed Chicken Kebabs, Sausages, Spag Bol,a few too many hot chips than I would like to admit, sweet potato, pumpkin, watermelon, ice cream, and apples and the list goes on!! We were staying with about 20 other family members, so he got fed bits and pieces from everyone!!! and he LOVED it.
