$100 to the person that can eat them all in 1 hour.

Two of the guys that I work with are also on the emergency response team.
The other night they were up all night on a call and had to got to work the next day with me.
I told them that if they started to fall out I was going to force feed them ghost pepper sauce.

Yeah. Appears as if he is going for some type of chemical warfare with all those reapers!

I had 56 pepper plants in total. 32 carolina reapers 10 trinidad moruga scorpions and the rest were various super hots. I only had 3 plants that were not hot. A red italian pepperonccini, a red bell pepper, and a carribean seasoning pepper. All of my sweet pepper seeds did not germinate so i planted all of these deadly guys that did.

If those peppers you call Caribbean Seasoning Peppers are "Aji Dulce" we use them for making sofrito.

I do believe that they are a aji pepper but im not sure which one. They have an amazing flavor with no heat. Perfect for flavoring salsa. How does one make sofrito?

To start with Aji means pepper, so Aji Dulce means sweet pepper. They have zero heat, I always have a couple of these plants going all the time, love living down in San Diego with no winters. There are quite a few recipes for sofrito. This is like to one we use (my wife is Puerto Rican so she doesn't add tomato):

We usually freeze them in half cup portions to make beans.
