Horse penis’ are a sensitive topic in Kyrgyzstan.
A SCOTTISH miner has been told to leave Kyrgyzstan within 24 hours after offending fellow employees at his workplace by comparing the country’s national delicacy to a horse penis.
Michael Mcfeat, who worked at Kyrgyzstan’s biggest gold mine, was detained by police after
he posted a comment on Facebook saying that his Kyrgyz colleagues were queuing for their “special delicacy, the horse’s penis” at New Year celebrations, sparking a brief strike at the Kumtor mine as well as calls for criminal prosecution.
The dish in question, chuchuk, is a sausage made from horse meat and intestines.

Police detained Mr Mcfeat on Sunday for questioning but the state security service only gave him a warning despite workers insisting that his actions constituted inciting hatred, a crime punishable by three to five years in prison.
A local court found that Mr Mcfeat, who worked as a welder for a contractor at Kumtor, had no work permit and ruled that he must be deported within 24 hours.
Mr McFeat has since removed his comments and apologised, posting on Facebook: “I would like to take the opportunity to sincerely apologise for the comment I made on here about the Kygyz people and horses penis.
“I truly never meant to offend anyone and im truly sorry as it was never my intension.”
