Given how many Westerns were from Italy (ie. Spaghetti Westerns), it would make some sense.
Spaghetti westerns were called spaghetti westerns because the directors were Italian:

And they were shot in Spain.
Many were shot in Spain! The Wikipedia link also notes some were shot in Italy, and one in Israel.
They were also mostly produced in Europe, particularly Italy and Spain
and where were the spaghetti westerns shot?

TIL.
Seems starchy carb food has become part of the taxonomic system of naming western film styles.
Macaroni, spaghetti, ramen, paella
I demand that if a western gets made in Ireland it must be called a spud western.
Whenever I try to satisfy my craving for spaghetti, I always end up disappointed. I will never do that again.
That is why they said that.
