If there is bounty on your table, it means there are lots of kinds of foods and plenty of them. If there's a bounty on your head, it means the government has put out a reward for your capture.

Bounty derives from the Latin bonus "good." Both meanings of bounty are connected with the idea of generosity, giving. A government known for its bounty will probably set a large bounty on the head of a murderer at large.
