This is a warning that if you cause trouble or do something wrong, you will have to bear the full consequences, whether you like it or not. It implies that the trouble will be more than you can handle, and you'll be forced to accept the fallout.
The imagery comes from banquets where leftover food is wrapped to take home — but here it's ironic: the 'leftovers' are trouble, and you can't refuse them. It's a common threat or caution in everyday disputes.
