Make Toes Curl

http://www.nytimes.com/1999/06/06/magazine/food-going-to-extremes.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm

"In Hawaii, for example, poi -- fermented taro root -- is a delicacy. To the uninitiated, it is sour enough to make your toes curl."

What does "make your toes curl" mean here? Dictionaries suggest "make you embarrassed".
