Yes, gtk_container_remove() will work. However, unless you
want to use the widgets later, it's a little more efficient
and safer to just destroy the menuitem, which will automatically
remove it from its parent.

 gtk_container_foreach (GTK_CONTAINER (menu), (GtkCallback)gtk_widget_destroy, NULL);

What advantage would this have over gtk_container_remove()?

It could be argued that gtk_container_remove() really should
be implemented as gtk_widget_remove_from_parent() since the container
argument to gtk_container_remove() is superfluous, but I
see no advantage to having per-container-type remove functions.
