Your description below does not explain how you will
tag them together, you simply identify which menu
items have a category, but no way to determine
which category goes with which menu item?

That sounds like what you think the solution
should be rather than your actual requirement.
I'd suggest it might be easier to create two
lists and move the found results into the
second list. this has the advantage of reducing
the number of items to be searched without having
to do any extra tests

But at the end you will simply have identified
which items have a category and which have not,
you will not have identified which category
each item belongs to. Maybe you need to store
the category alongside the items once you find
a match? Or better still use a dictionary keyed
by category?

In pseudo code it might look like:

results = {}
for category in categories:
    results[category] = [ item for item in menuitems
                          if category in item ]

But maybe a dictionary is not what you need
for your output format? And what to do with
menuitems that don't match any category?
That take us back to a dual list approach.
