I’ve only ever heard it in the sticks of PA - where you can also get some great pickled beets and eggs:

PA is a big, and may I say ‘diverse’, state:-)

OMG!! I love pickled beets and eggs. Lived very close to Mennonites and Amish people while growing up. Sure miss all the sweet and sour stuff...relishes, chow chow, etc.
When I really get homesick I’ll make some Shoo Fly Pies and sticky buns. At least we can get scrapple out here!
