It’s hard to get grocery store size bell peppers in a home garden. Plenty of people (me included) also like to grow small varieties of some veggies. If a plant can get me 4 huge tomatoes or 50 tiny ones, I’d rather have the tiny ones cause there ends up being less waste if a pest gets into one.
Ha I was about to post a similar thing - there are colloquial differences for sure. I’ve heard bell peppers called sweet bell peppers in the Deep South. And in op’s defense, some people say bell peppers are spicy in their opinion. AND there are varieties of jalapeño that can have little to no heat in flavor so, that may not be a measure to go by. But a jalapeño does have a different flavor from a bell pepper, heat notwithstanding.
But like you said, it doesn’t matter. Just eat them because they taste good!
Those look like jalapeños and not bell peppers.
So I’d make salsa.

I’ve grown many a bell pepper, never have I had one that looked like a jalapeño. I think you are mistaken.

Idk, looks similar enough to me. OP has tasted them, and would have probably noticed if they were spicy.
Those are sweet peppers, different from bell peppers.
This is what bell peppers look like.
That must be a language thing, cause I would call any pepper that’s not spicy a bell pepper. Whoever wrote the Wikipedia article on bell peppers said
So if it’s not spicy, it’s a bell pepper (at least where I live), but they can be in different forms. Not that any of that matters.

Yeah I’ve grown both bells and jalapeños and a variety of others and size is not what has me saying those are jalapeños, it’s their shape.
If they are indeed bell peppers, then this recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/ajvar-serbian-roasted-red-pepper-sauce-recipe
but they looks suspiciously like fat jalapeños or some related spicy pepper
