Needs attention, or at least a source
editThe present article ends with
"In local myth, the area was named when the local tribe were roasting their captives on a fire after a victory in battle. The fatty pulp around the kidneys of their victims began to bubble, giving the impression that the victims were still alive, which terrified the tribespeople."
This doesn't sound credible. The cannibalism implied here, while not inconceivable, is rare among human societies. And if the people were indeed cannibals, then why would the sight of people being cooked terrify them? If this is true (or if it's a real legend), then it needs a really good source. 206.127.53.86 (talk) 22:58, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
