Hello,
I do not understand why this isn’t just carpaccio de homard
"Le homard :
Poché et taillé comme un carpaccio, crémeux pommes-céleri ;"
All I have come up with is: "Lobster poached and cut carpaccio-style"....but would rather keep away from "...style"
Thank you for any suggestions.

carpaccio style
Poached lobster served carpaccio style.
The problem is that if you don't say some thing this, then purists like Victoria and Carol will politely point out that "cooked carpaccio" is a culinary oxymoron, like for example, "slow-cooked minute steak".

It has to be said that "carpaccio" may well have evolved in its usage, and having become a fixture on almost any trendy menu, can now be used to mean anything that is thinly sliced.

: Yes, I think style is fine, or "as", and also best for the reasons you give.

But in this case, the lobster has been described as "taillé comme un carpaccio ", which is quite different to saying that it IS a carpaccio
whereas this has been poached
Or you could stick very closely to the original and say "...and sliced like a carpaccio"
It seems to me that the reason it isn't actually called a carpaccio is quite simply because the lobster is cooked, which carpaccio ingredients aren't usually (cf. Katsy's reference).
