The turducken fascinates me

I just watched a cooking segment on a Spanish-language morning show in which the host and guest chef made a turducken. Fortunately, food and cooking is an area where I've retained most of the vocabulary I learned in high school, and I found it pretty easy to follow along.

I think it's official. Turduckens are everywhere. I don't totally get it (a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey?!), and I'm sure it's weird to eat, and probably easily messed up (overdone turkey, underdone chicken). But there's also something very imperial Rome about the whole thing, and it fascinates me.
