That list is scary. I get many of those, and I've only been to PA once. Mother's from Bucks County, spent good hunk of childhood in Philly. Got it by osmosis, apparently.
Scrapple. *drool* The only people around here who have it/know what it is are the PA Amish who are invading us. Haven't had it in yonks.
Also, the Mummers? *dies laughing*
Words like "hoagie", "sticky buns", "shoo-fly pie", "pierogies" and "pocketbook", and "water ice" actually mean something to you.
Okay, we say subs instead of hoagies, but I grew up with the rest. Pierogies are OF THE STRONG. And Mother's quest for decent sticky buns has been going for the last 35 years.
Though, I protest some of the cold weather ones that were apparently stolen from the Vermont/NH/Maine/NY/Canada lists. You can't use your trunk for a deep freezer if it doesn't hit at least 0 F consistently for weeks on end. ;)
