I grew up in England where we knew Bologna as lunch meat, same stuff, pink mushy meat with a red rind but never heard it called Bologna until I moved to the US.
Also we didn't have subs we had baguettes, shorter than a french loaf but not quite as short as a hoagie
My friends from Lancaster call it stuffing. There can't be many who say filling. You never know what you're going to get when English is the second language.
She was born and raised in Lancaster (then moved to Lebanon and then Hershey after marrying) - it wasn't a second language. She also would probably be mid 90's now if she was still alive - maybe just a generational thing?
"Pork Roll (regionally known as Taylor Ham)[1][2][3] is a pork-based processed meat originating and commonly available in New Jersey, New York, Delaware and parts of Pennsylvania and Maryland. It was developed in 1856[4] by John Taylor of Trenton, New Jersey, and sold as "Taylor Ham". Other producers entered the market, and subsequent food labeling regulations required Taylor to designate it as a "pork roll" alongside their competitors." - Wikipedia
We know that. Fewer than half of the people in the state--even those born there--call it Taylor Ham.

Back track. I took a couple of years of German in high school, and more when I moved overseas. The Pennsylvania Dutch don't speak the modern German language. Sure, everyone says pizza and cell phone, but their whole gig is pretty clunky.
Where was her mother from? Many of us learn these things from our mother.
In 99% of the country people don't order a "soda" because that would simply prompt the question of "what kind?" People simply order what they want - what a concept!

In my family it was called it bologna (or baloney), but my neighborhood pals were always eating 'mordadell' (mortadella). I was about 12 year old before I realized they were the same thing.
But then, what they called salami, my family called fårepølse even though it was actually salami.

But were you eating the same thing? At my deli they have bologna, beef bologna, German bologna and mortadella. The first three are all types of bologna, but mortadella isn't, it's...mortadella. LOL Simlilar, yes, but different lunch meats. If you ask for bologna, you'll never get mortadella and vice versa. They look and taste different to me.
Oh yeah, there's another one! Lunch meat, deli meat, cold cuts, etc.

Don't forget Lebanon bologna.
