Chances are you probably miss dropping into to your nearest branch of McDonald's to pick up a quick meal or snack, lured in by the smell of fries and nuggets.

But ordering online thanks to a food delivery service or handy app has its advantages.

For example, you can customise away to your heart's content - without feeling any guilt as the person manning the till tries to work out why you are ordering triple gherkins and no bun, with extra ketchup.

But while the services allow you to do some truly weird things to your food - will the restaurant actually do it?

How far can you push them before they give up, and tell you to see a doctor?

MyLondon put some odd food customisation choices to the test at McDonald's, and this is what happened.

Big Mac

The Big Mac is iconic - three slices of bun, two meaty beef patties, special sauce, salad, cheese.

Soooo, what if you start messing with the classic?

Like asking them to send you a Big Mac without the two meat patties.

With our sandwiches structure now precarious we made one final change by removing the onions as well.

This was a clever ploy in itself, after the sacrilege of a burgerless burger, would the chefs be able to spot our second request?

As it turns out they delivered with aplomb and custom built our little parcel of nothingness.

It looked and smelled like a Big Mac but possibly a vegetarian alternative.

Vegetable Deluxe

The vegetable deluxe is a firm favourite with non meat eaters and is comprised of two veggie dippers mayonnaise and lettuce.

Obviously we had to remove the bun as a starting point but then we decided to experiment with ingredients of our own.

If mayonnaise goes well with the burger, there's no reason to think ketchup wouldn't also?

And what's a salad without a slice of tomato?

We added it all together and the good people of McDonald's delivered a monstrosity.

An unspeakably ugly dish that by all rights should have got the customer sectioned, but we can't complain because we ordered it.

BBQ Chicken Legend

A Chicken Legend is pure simplicity so there's not much to tamper with. We decided to just remove the bun and see what would happen.

Ever since KFC launched their infamous double down burger, consisting of two chicken fillets with cheese in the middle, I've been fascinated by bunless chicken burgers.

Call it a perversion or a sickness, I don't care, I simply had to see if they'd fulfil my greasy request.

Sure enough, when I slid open the lid it was laid out in all its glory.

Certainly the least offensive burger we ordered, it's just chicken after all.

Triple Cheeseburger

(No bun, extra bacon)

Our final burger was the Triple Cheeseburger, a veritable meat feast that has only recently been added to the menu.

This time we once more chose to remove the bun but also opted to add some bacon at a cost of 40p.

I was intrigued as to how they'd incorporate them into the design of the burger.

Would they slide them lovingly into the crease of the meat tower or perhaps layer one on top and one on the bottom.

As it turned out they did neither, instead dropping them on to the mess of a meal without so much as a second glance.

So the answer is yes, whatever you ask done to youyr burger, it looks like McDonald's will happily comply.
