You can use a recursive function to get the full path of your menu.

function Form1.GetMenuPath(Menu: TMenuItem): String;
begin
  if (Menu.Parent <> nil) and (Menu.Parent.ClassType = TMenuItem) then
    Result := GetMenuPath(TMenuItem(Menu.Parent));
  if Result <> '' then
    Result := Result + ' > ';
  Result := Result + Menu.Caption;
end;

At your MenuItemClick you call the function

procedure Form1.L3B1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ShowMessage(GetMenuPath(TMenuItem(Sender)));
end;
