Different time and place ... Boiardi created the name spelling because he couldn't stand having people mispronounce his name! His original canned items and sauces were great, but since in those days spaghetti was thought of as a weird foreign food when he sold out the new owners immediately changed all recipes so that they bore no resemblance to what made him popular in the first place!
