For this one it will really depend on your recipe and how you are supposed to cook your peas. Pigeon peas are a legume, and a lot more like a bean than a pea. I'm a strong believer that recipes are just a suggestion and you can play around with it, but it might take a fair bit of modification to use English peas instead. It probably calls for dried pigeon peas, or to either soak them or boil them for quite some time. I would probably suggest substituting dried split peas or lentils instead of english peas.
But again, it really depends on your recipe and how imaginative you are!

yeah it will just give it a littledifferent taste
Sure, you can use black-eyed peas as a substitute for white beans in a recipe. They have a similar texture when cooked, but black-eyed peas have a slightly nuttier flavor. So go ahead and swap them in, just be prepared for a little twist in taste!
