So my questions: can you eat perpetual sweet peas? As mangetout, sugar
snaps or shelled peas? Do I want to?

I have one cascading every year over the fence onto the street and as
much as I have thought and researched the edibility of all the 200
plus plants I grow, beleive me I have never thought of eating this
sweet pea! Somehow it has never crossed my mind and I wouldn't. The
peas are very small, the pods are hairy and instinctively it has never
appealed to me ;o)

Rectification ... the pods are not hairy, at least on my perpetual
sweet peas. I collect pods and I was thinking of the wisteria! But
still, don't eat them ;o)

Not fair - they're called peas, so they should be edible

Anyway, nothinng wrong with a bit of hair - you could call runner bean
pods hairy
