I have three questions.
Does this actually work to coock it?
Is it at all edible?
Is there any environmental impact or downside?
Doesn't seem safe to try to get your cock in it while it's in the hot spring. Maybe you could find a way to make it could actually work...but why? Are you a masochist or something?
Sous vide method would probably have the most chance Of being edible since the turkey would be vacuum sealed
Yes. That's why the park service is saying not to do this. You'd be introducing new chemicals into a delicate ecosystem and also potentially physically damaging it.
The places I know were they do cook stuff using volcanic heat (in Peru and the Azores islands which are part of Portugal) they do it by digging a hole in an area were the ground is hot from volcanic heat and putting a pan cooking in it (they cover it all to keep the heat).
So it's more a local technique for cooking for free that then evolved into a couple of traditional dishes.
Never heard of trying to roast stuff on the output of a geyser.
It's a thing in New Zealand, where they actually cook in the geothermal springs, done traditionally by Maori in the area that has geothermal activity(they also dig a hole sometimes, not sure if that depends on the tribe or just what they're cooking). Apparently there's a restaurant that does it too: https://whakarewarewa.com/experiences-traditional-food/
I haven't tried it so can't speak to the flavor, but Id imagine it would be somewhat sulphour flavoured, which doesn't seem appealing, maybe it's an acquired taste?
It would cook it, the springs are hot and acidic enough. You’d just have to sit for a long while. Edibility depends on your allergies and tolerance for poisons.
You can eat anything you want once
Would depend on the specific hot spring. Most would cook and dissolve it. Additionally it would be very Sulphur smelling and tasting which would be range from icky to deadly depending on how much of the undissolved you ate.
