what are "english peas"?

Are they the same as canned peas/sweet peas?  Or the kind in the pods?  It is on my restricted foods list for my soft foods diet.

I am not 100% sure but I thinkk they are small or baby peas or something close to it & come canned & frozen... or fresh of course!! I do eat them once in a while - not very often... we had them almost every meal growing up because it's all my father would eat... peas & corn!!! oh & beets... ugh!! The only one of the 3 I still eat is corn!!! Cece

Yeah, that's right.  It's sort of like baby limas, but baby green peas.  In the can, they're not as crisp, softer, and smaller. I like them better.

THEY'RE THE SMALL GREEN PEAS IN A CAN OR BAG, I MADE PEA SALAD WITH THEM TODAY AND IT WAS DELICIOUS.  SORRY TO HEAR YOU CAN'T EAT THEM THEY ARE REALLY SOFT BUT MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE OF THE SKINS ON THEM, I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM EATING THEM.

They are canned, frozen or fresh. They are sweet peas. Sometimes on the can you will see very young sweet peas on the lable. Teresa M. 

 English peas are simply another word for good ole peas does not matter .. june peas early peas  baby peas  are generally  smaller ...another term  they use in the south is Irish potatoes, which is just good ole potatoes..  Creamed potatoes are mashed potatoes .Field corn is simply creamed corn   generally cut off the cob and cooked with a little butter &  bit of milk till soft and creamy .Simply get a can of whole kernel corn drain well and mix it with a can of cream corn (do not drain) add a nice dab of butter and heat you cannot  tell the difference and it is great.. ..
