soak your feet in?

All my wife wants is vegetables and sauces you'd not soak your feet in!

Does the "soak your feet in" have any figurative meanning? Why would the speaker say not soaking your feet in the sauces? That's weird.

I see. So the what the speaker is saying is that, you would not even soak your feet in the sauces, let alone eating them. So the sauces are terrible.
