You go to a restaurant, order a chicken pie and the food and drink comes exactly as ordered but with the beef pie instead.  This isn't a fancy place, but the pies are good.

You like beef pie, just this time you fancied chicken.

So do you?

Just eat it.  Beef pie is fine.
Send it back and tell them firmly that you ordered chicken.
Eat the pie grumpily.
Complain loudly, hoping to get a free pie and give them 1 star on tripadvisor if you don't get it.

Something else.

I'd let them know, I ordered Chicken, and my next action would be dependent on them.

If they reacted as I would expect, I'd likely say don't worry about it, and plough through it.

Am I eating alone?

If I get a new pie will I still be able to eat at the same time as everyone else I'm with?

Am I in a rush?

Do I come here a lot?

I can see why you would differ.  Think my answer is the same regardless.  I am aware of a big difference between me and my wife here though.  I am sure we both think each other are odd because of the way we react to this situation. 

I pretty much would eat anything quietly unless it was something I really didn't want.

Are they the same price? If so I'd probably leave it, as long as I'm eating something I find nice I don't overly care what it is, although if they get my order wrong I'm unlikely to leave a tip.

I'd ask them to replace the beef pie for what i've ordered but wouldn't be making a scene/complaining.

polite request, smile when i get the chicken pie, case over.

Would probably point out the mistake but happily eat it anyway. Would rather eat something I didn't order but like anyway at the same time as others at my table rather than get the correct one and eat alone.

Probably just eat it if it looked OK.

Poker Player:  Eat all but a couple of mouthfuls, enough left to prove it was their mistake, get a full replacement, profit.

Annoying woman I once worked with: Complain loudly to the whole table that her order is wrong, refuse my repeated offer to sort it out for her with the wait staff, complain again shortly afterwards.  Demand the restaurant "sort the bill out" having given them no previous opportunity to rectify.

Me: Yea it differs.  I point it out, and then depending on their response and my needs on the day, go from there.  Usually that means "there's not a lot of chicken in this beef pie" "oops I'll change it" "nah, this will be just fine, ta anyway" etc.

It would depend on what the first mouthful tasted like.

If it tasted absolutely delicious I would just carry on as per I had ordered it.

This.

I'd taste the pie and if i felt i was getting value for what i was paying I would eat it.

If i didn't think i was getting value i'd ask for a replacement of the pie i ordered without making a scene.
