Old thread I know, but there doesn't seem to be much information out there about eating honey locust so I thought I'd add my experience. I have a mature thorn-less (but not pod-less) honey locust in my yard, every year it produces a number of pods and I find if I pick them when they are immature and the seeds inside are soft they are quite good, something like edamame. Our tree does not produce a lot of seeds though, in spite of the massive number of blossoms in the spring.
