This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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:

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.
They were also mostly produced in Europe, particularly Italy and Spain
and where were the spaghetti westerns shot?
The answer to your question is literally on the link I posted. The reason that I posted the link was both to cite a source, and also to provide further information for anyone curious about it. If the future, please go ahead and just click a link when someone provides it!
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.
That is why they said that.
