Default US Food Name- British Name?

Can those who've been in the US a while please give me the British name (if it exists) for "very young early peas"? Is it petit pois?

I bought a tin of 'em but I don't want any surprises when I open the tin.

If they are petit pois, can I call the product premie peas?

Yes, it is, and even younger ones in the pod are mange toute.

I am not familiar with "premie peas".

Premie= premature (as in premature babies). Premie peas? Geddit?

Dunno about peas but if you want a Mars Bar get a Milky Way
If you want a Milky Way then buy a Musketeer. Cheetos are Nik Naks...
