I watched a TV programme that was talking about a particular combination of three spices which are often used together, especially with chicken.
The TV presenter said that they were used together so often that they were referred to as 'the three Cs'.
I know one of them is cumin, but I can't remember the other two.
Does anyone know what they might be?

Generally, it depends on the sort of cuisine you're talking about.
However, there is a very common "chord" of three spices, which is popular in Greece, Turkey, Arab cultures, Indian cooking genres and even China.
That "chord" is Cumin, Coriander seed and Cardamom. It's definitely used with chicken, but is also applied to plenty of vegetarian dishes as well.
