Is it possible to get menus to be shown in always visible menu bars in 14.04, rather than in window title bars?

Yes, you should remove some packages. Use:
sudo apt-get remove --purge appmenu-gtk appmenu-gtk3 appmenu-qt firefox-globalmenu thunderbird-globalmenu indicator-appmenu
This will restore application menus in right place.
UPD: there might be a few packages I missed. To find them, open Synaptic and in the search field enter "appmenu", check the found packages for removal, then search for "globalmenu" and remove them too.
Restart/relogin into your X session to finish changes.

blacklisting is something you would do if the package is installed, did you actually restore the nautilus menu bar? – stackblow Mar 31 '14 at 09:19

No, I just want to give you more options to try. – Danatela Mar 31 '14 at 09:24

There is a simpler method. Just type
sudo apt-get remove hud
in Terminal. It will remove all the other packages and you will get what you want.

This does not seem to work. Using
apt remove --purge hudwill only removehudon Ubuntu 14.04, not any other packages. Are you sure? – Jens May 17 '14 at 07:35
