That would just be more of the same. Anything with the potential to result in an unlimited depth of function calls will eventually exhaust resources or consume far too many resources.
Ideally the each function should simply return when they are done. And the main function should simply have a loop that displays the menu and calls the proper function. This is the structured way and it's the only way I program.
But lots of people disagree with me (including such people as Richard Stevens and Dennis Ritchie). So I should tell you that there is also setjmp()/longjmp(). You call setjmp at some point in your program...like just before you print the main menu. Later, even in some other function, you call longjmp. And then the next thing that happens is that you're back right after the setjmp and stack pointer is magically unwound as well. This will not leak memory.
A third technique is to re-exec the program. I think that this is pathetic and here I can claim broad support.

GIJ(1) GNU GIJ(1)
NAME
gij - GNU interpreter for Java bytecode
SYNOPSIS
gij [OPTION] ... JARFILE [ARGS...]
gij [-jar] [OPTION] ... CLASS [ARGS...]
[-cp path] [-classpath path]
[-Dname[=value]...]
[-ms=number] [-mx=number]
[-Xargument] [-verbose] [-verbose:class]
[--showversion] [--version] [--help][-?]
DESCRIPTION
"gij" is a Java bytecode interpreter included with "libgcj". "gij" is not available on every platform; porting it requires a small amount
of assembly programming which has not been done for all the targets supported by gcj.
The primary argument to "gij" is the name of a class or, with "-jar", a jar file. Options before this argument are interpreted by "gij";
remaining options are passed to the interpreted program.
If a class name is specified and this class does not have a "main" method with the appropriate signature (a "static void" method with a
"String[]" as its sole argument), then "gij" will print an error and exit.
If a jar file is specified then "gij" will use information in it to determine which class' "main" method will be invoked.
"gij" will invoke the "main" method with all the remaining command-line options.
Note that "gij" is not limited to interpreting code. Because "libgcj" includes a class loader which can dynamically load shared objects,
it is possible to give "gij" the name of a class which has been compiled and put into a shared library on the class path.
OPTIONS
-cp path
-classpath path
Set the initial class path. The class path is used for finding class and resource files. If specified, this option overrides the
"CLASSPATH" environment variable. Note that this option is ignored if "-jar" is used.
-Dname[=value]
This defines a system property named name with value value. If value is not specified then it defaults to the empty string. These
system properties are initialized at the program's startup and can be retrieved at runtime using the "java.lang.System.getProperty"
method.
-ms=number
Equivalent to "-Xms".
-mx=number
Equivalent to "-Xmx".
-noverify
Do not verify compliance of bytecode with the VM specification. In addition, this option disables type verification which is otherwise
performed on BC-ABI compiled code.
-X
-Xargument
Supplying "-X" by itself will cause "gij" to list all the supported "-X" options. Currently these options are supported:
-Xmssize
Set the initial heap size.
-Xmxsize
Set the maximum heap size.
-Xsssize
Set the thread stack size.
Unrecognized "-X" options are ignored, for compatibility with other runtimes.
-jar
This indicates that the name passed to "gij" should be interpreted as the name of a jar file, not a class.
--help
-? Print help, then exit.
--showversion
Print version number and continue.
--fullversion
Print detailed version information, then exit.
--version
Print version number, then exit.
-verbose
-verbose:class
Each time a class is initialized, print a short message on standard error.
"gij" also recognizes and ignores the following options, for compatibility with existing application launch scripts: "-client", "-server",
"-hotspot", "-jrockit", "-agentlib", "-agentpath", "-debug", "-d32", "-d64", "-javaagent", "-noclassgc", "-verify", and "-verifyremote".
