Ali, like Kay says, there's no problem with the white bread. It's advised not to give LO's wholemeal as it is too filling. That said, I do give DS mulitgrain wholemeal bread because he doesn't eat a lot of it. But no brown rice or brown pasta.
DS wasn't at all keen on banana the first few times he was offered. Then suddenly loved them.
I really want to advise you against the rusks though

Even the low sugar ones are packed with sugar.
There are truly 'no added sugar' biscuits available in the supermarkets. Organix for example (sweetened only with fruits). If you are worried that he can't handle a thin 'biscuit' yet (you know if you worry he might bite a chunk off and it be too dry in his mouth), organix do 'moon biscuits' which are crescent shaped, sugar free, and very fat and chunky like a rusk. They also do that melting turning to mush in the mouth type thing that a rusk does.
For quite a while I took food out for DS if I was eating out. If I was able to take something that looked like it might be the same I did (eg going for a Sunday roast I made him a selection of steamed veg so it seemed he had the same but his were all salt free where as the restaurant veg would have been cooked with salt. But I gave him a bit of meat off someone's plate so that would have been his salt allowance for the day). If I didn't know what we'd be having I just took anything for him. Baked apple wedges, or potato wedges, something like that. Now that he's turned 1 I don't worry about salt as much, if we go out I just order for him.
