OK, so here there are "garden peas" which I think equate to your English peas, "marrowfat peas" which are bigger, and almost exclusively tinned, "mushy peas" which are tinned and horrendously overcooked marrowfat peas, "petit pois", which are baby garden peas, "sugarsnap peas" which appear to be the same thing in both languages, and "mange tout", which appears to be our word (well, French people's word) for snow peas.
You live and learn!
... and then there's all the types of dried peas (main use for which, afaict, is being put in referrees' whistles - my dad used to swear by the Acme Thunderer).
