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?
