Well... my first question is: why do you want to write pseudocode?
To-do lists are a reasonable thing for top-down design.

Thing is, an "associative array" is different things in different
languages, which means writing pseudocode for it is actually too
low-level, IMHO.

The usefulness of pseudocode is when you want to lay out an algorithm
which isn't language-specific, such as "do a bubble-sort".

In your case, it might be...

menu_array = make_menu_arrray()
while (not_at_end_of_array(menu_array)
{

}
