Given their fame for diet and nothing else, should the Donner party not be known as the Dinner party?

Nobby - lots of nice coats to chew, and a kitty to chase
The Donner party were heading to the American west to seek new lives/ their fortunes.
In an effort to save time they took a short cut over the mountains but were trapped by heavy snow. Some left to seek help, others remained in place and,as food ran out, resorted to cannibalism to survive.
